Egg-straordinary Breakfast Tacos
The Ultimate Morning Mashup
Why settle for just one favorite food when you can combine two? That’s exactly what I did with these six incredible breakfast taco variations, each topped with a sunny-side up egg.
The Magic of Fried Eggs
The best part about fried egg tacos? The yolk breaks when you pick up the taco, coating the filling with a rich, velvety sauce. But don’t worry if runny yolks aren’t your thing – scrambled eggs are a great alternative.
Bacon, Egg, and Tomato: A Match Made in Heaven
Crisp bacon, ripe tomato, and a runny-yolked egg come together in perfect harmony in a soft, charred tortilla. Try making this when heirloom tomatoes are in season, or roast them first if they’re not at their peak.
Spicy Chorizo and Crunchy Potatoes
Spicy chorizo and crunchy potato chunks are a killer combination in a taco, especially topped with a perfectly fried egg. Saute the sausage first to crisp up the potatoes in the rendered grease for maximum flavor.
Beans Belong in Tacos
Don’t believe the haters – beans have always belonged in tacos! Our version may not be traditional, but a fried egg, grated cheddar, and refried beans in a soft tortilla make for a gloriously messy breakfast. Try using Mexican crema or Greek yogurt for an added twist.
Beef Picadillo: A Simplified Morning Option
True picadillo may include tomatoes and potatoes, but our simplified version uses well-seasoned ground beef, a squeeze of ketchup or tomato-based salsa, and a fried egg for a quick and easy breakfast. Serve with hash browns or home fries for a filling start to your day.
Green Chile and Ham: An Eye-Opening Combo
Green eggs and ham get a spicy twist with these morning tacos featuring poblano pepper strips and a fried egg. Add some fresh jalapeño for an extra kick.
Garden Fresh: A Simple yet Satisfying Option
Sauteed shallots and wilted arugula add a burst of flavor to this simple fried egg taco, finished with a dash of hot sauce. Feel free to swap out spinach, kale, or other greens for a personalized touch.
