Ingredients
Bacon
-
4 slices bacon
Potatoes
-
2 tbsp canola oil
-
4 cups potatoes, cut into 1-inch cubes
-
2½ tbsp Old El Paso™ Original Taco Seasoning Mix (from 6.25 oz container)
Tortillas
-
8 soft corn tortillas (6 inch)
Eggs & Cheese
-
8 eggs, well beaten
-
½ cup Monterey Jack cheese, shredded (2 oz)
Instructions
1) Bake and chop the bacon
Preheat oven to 375°F (190°C).
Place bacon on an ungreased rimmed baking sheet. Bake for 10 minutes, or until crisp.
Let cool for 5 minutes, then chop into small pieces. Set aside.
2) Cook the seasoned potatoes
While bacon bakes, heat 2 tbsp canola oil in a 10-inch skillet over medium heat.
Add cubed potatoes and stir to coat. Sprinkle taco seasoning over the potatoes and stir well.
Cook for 15–20 minutes, turning every 5 minutes, until potatoes are soft when pierced with a knife.
3) Prepare the tortillas
Arrange tortillas standing upright in an ungreased 13×9-inch glass baking dish, leaning against each other like taco shells.
4) Scramble the eggs
In a clean skillet over medium heat, cook beaten eggs, stirring frequently until just set.
✅ Tip: remove eggs slightly soft—they’ll finish perfectly in the oven.
5) Assemble the tacos
Fill each tortilla with:
-
about ¼ cup seasoned potatoes
-
scrambled eggs (divide evenly)
-
chopped bacon
Top each taco with 1 tablespoon Monterey Jack cheese.
6) Bake and serve
Bake at 375°F for 10 minutes, until cheese is melted.
Serve immediately while hot!
Notes
-
Bake bacon instead of frying for less grease + crispier results.
-
Turn potatoes often to avoid burning and cook evenly.
-
Don’t overcook eggs on the stove—slightly underdone is perfect.
-
If corn tortillas tear, warm them for a few seconds in the microwave to soften.
