Method

Step-by-Step Instructions for Baked Breakfast Tacos

Preheat your oven to 375°F (190°C). Gather your ingredients and equipment to streamline the cooking process.
Arrange bacon strips on a foil-lined baking sheet and bake for about 10 minutes or until crisp. Chop into bite-sized pieces.
Heat canola oil in a skillet over medium heat. Sauté diced Yukon Gold potatoes with taco seasoning for 15 to 20 minutes.
Stand soft corn tortillas upright in a baking dish, ensuring space between each so they can bake evenly.
In a clean skillet, scramble beaten eggs over medium heat until just set, keeping a slightly runny consistency.
Assemble by spooning sautéed potatoes, scrambled eggs, and chopped bacon into each tortilla, and sprinkle with cheese.
Bake the assembled tacos in the oven for 10 minutes until the tortillas are crisp and cheese is melted.
Cool slightly before serving warm, possibly with fresh fruit or pico de gallo for added flavor.

Notes

Warm tortillas before filling to prevent toughness; monitor egg cooking to maintain fluffiness. Cubing potatoes evenly ensures perfect texture, and starting bacon in a cold oven helps crispiness. Feel free to mix and match fillings based on your fridge contents.
