Ingredients
- 4 large eggs
- 4 small flour or corn tortillas
- 100 g shredded cheddar or Mexican cheese
- 100 g cooked breakfast sausage or bacon (optional)
- 1 small tomato, diced
- 1 small avocado, sliced
- 2 tablespoons chopped onion
- 1 tablespoon oil or butter
- Salt and pepper to taste
- Hot sauce or salsa (optional)
- Fresh coriander or chopped spring onions for garnish
Steps
- Cook the meat
If using sausage or bacon, cook it in a pan until fully done. Remove and set aside. - Prepare the eggs
Crack the eggs into a bowl. Add a pinch of salt and pepper. Beat well. Heat oil or butter in a nonstick pan over medium heat. Pour in the eggs. Stir gently until scrambled and fully cooked. - Warm the tortillas
Heat a dry pan over medium heat. Warm each tortilla for 15 to 30 seconds per side until soft and pliable. You can also microwave them wrapped in a damp paper towel for 20 seconds. - Assemble the tacos
Lay out the tortillas. Spoon the scrambled eggs onto each. Add the cooked meat. Sprinkle with cheese. Add tomato, onion, and avocado slices. - Add toppings
Top with hot sauce or salsa. Garnish with fresh coriander or spring onions. - Serve hot
Serve immediately while the eggs are warm and the cheese is melty.
Tips
- For vegetarian tacos, skip the meat and add black beans or sautéed mushrooms.
- Use hard-shell tacos for a crunchier version.
- Meal prep by pre-cooking the meat and chopping toppings the night before.
- Swap cheddar for feta, goat cheese, or pepper jack for variety.
These tacos are great for busy mornings or weekend brunch. With simple ingredients and quick prep, you can make a satisfying breakfast any day of the week.
