Homemade Breakfast Tacos
Breakfast tacos are best when they’re homemade and made fresh from scratch! Beginning with fresh tortillas and piled high with plenty of meat and eggs, and loaded up with all the best breakfast taco toppings. Yes making them from scratch is more of a labor of love but easily worth it in the end. Once you get the hang of homemade tortillas they are a breeze. And fresh pico de gallo easily beats out bottled salsa. Weekends and even weeknight dinners were made for these breakfast tacos! They may even take the place of your favorite pancake breakfast that many of us have on repeat. So much to love about these hearty, flavor packed tacos!

How to Make Breakfast Tacos
Tips for the Best Breakfast Tacos
TORTILLAS: The best breakfast tacos are made with homemade flour tortillas or even corn tortillas. If you don’t have time you can use store-bought but I highly recommend trying fresh the next time around. To heat flour tortillas you can wrap in foil and warm tight in a 350 degree oven until heated through. Or just heat a few at a time in a damp paper towel in the microwave. To heat corn tortillas warm a little olive oil in a skillet heated over medium heat until light golden brown spots appear turning halfway (drain on paper towels). MEAT: If using chorizo I recommend using by Chorizo in tray, it is usually better quality than what come in tubes. TOPPINGS: Just cook the eggs until soft set. The residual heat will continue to cook them once you take them off heat and you don’t want them to end up over-cooked and dry. Salsa is a great substitute for pico de gallo. Fresh of either is best but in a pinch bottled salsa will work.
Breakfast Taco Filling and Topping Ideas:

Homemade black beans (well drained), or canned (well drained) Refried beans Pork or beef chorizo, or turkey chorizo for a healthier option Bacon Eggs: Scrambled or fried Homemade hash browns, or store-bought frozen and cooked Breakfast potatoes Various cheeses: You can use something more authentic like Queso fresco or Manchengo Sauteed peppers (bell pepper, Anaheim, poblano, jalapeno, Cubanelle, banana, etc) Sauteed onions (red, yellow or white) Tomatoes Avocado Salsas: Tomato salsa, salsa verde, pico de gallo, or hot sauce Cilantro
