These are the ultimate breakfast tacos with a perfect layer of eggs all wrapped around your favorite fillings, keeping it all together.

Do you love breakfast tacos or burritos, but the fillings always fall out? Well, then you've come to the right place because I am giving you my family secret to the perfect way to make these breakfast favorites, so you get all the flavors in every bite.

If you've been around here for a while, then you know my love for taco Tuesdays. Well, that taco love doesn't just start at dinner because, thankfully, we have breakfast tacos, and they are truly magical if you do them right.

More Reasons to Love

  • Quick and Easy - These breakfast tacos come together in just minutes, and they disappear just as fast.
  • Make it Your Way - No matter what you decide to put into your breakfast taco, it will be a hit because they are your favorites.
  • Make-Ahead - These make the perfect breakfast for any day of the week because you can easily make your favorite fillings ahead of time. Then all you have to do is whip it up and bring it together, and that takes no time at all.

What's the Secret?

The secret to the best breakfast taco lies in the eggs; that's right, it's the eggs. Say goodbye to chunks of scrambled eggs falling all over the place. What you really want is a warm egg blanket to wrap all the fillings up with.

How to Make the Perfect Eggs for Breakfast Tacos and Burittos

It starts with the eggs

  1. Prep the Eggs

    In a bowl, scramble the raw eggs with a bit of milk (or water) and desired spices until it is combined and slightly fluffy, like you are going to make an omelet.

  2. Warm the Skillet

    Preheat a small skillet (you want it slightly smaller than your tortilla) over medium heat with a bit of fat, depending on preference.

  3. Cook the Eggs

    Pour some of the egg mixture into the skillet and let it cook till it's almost done. (Do NOT touch it or scramble, let it cook)

  4. Add the Tortilla

    When it's almost done, place your tortilla on top of the egg and let it cook a minute longer, so the eggs and tortilla stick to each other.

  5. Flip and Fill

    Carefully flip both the tortilla and the attached egg over in the skillet. Place desired fillings into the middle, fold over the side or sides (for larger tortillas), and let it cook a minute longer to crisp up the tortilla.

  6. Enjoy!

    Enjoy your crispy breakfast tacos!

Breakfast tacos steps starting with toasting the tortilla, cooking the eggs, adding the torilla back on, flipping it over, stuffing it how you like and letting it crisp.


What to add to a breakfast taco?

Really you can't go wrong with what you like, but a few of my favorite things to put in them are some Crispy Breakfast Potatoes, Bacon, and sometimes some Breakfast Sausage depending on my mood. I also love all the veggies, salsa, and cheese to bring it all home. Add what you want and not what you don't.

Tips and Tricks

Best Tortillas

You can use what you like. I usually use the Siete Grain-free Tortillas (I haven't found the burrito sized yet), but you can totally use whatever gluten-free tortilla you like. I've also had luck making these with corn tortillas which adds a bit extra crunch.

Tortilla not sticking to the egg?

Depending on the tortilla, sometimes it needs a little bit of help. The best way I've found to do this is to sprinkle a bit of cheese on top of the eggs and let it melt a few seconds before adding the tortilla. The cheese will adhere to the tortilla, making it stick and easier to flip as one.

Can you freeze these?

I haven't tried, but I assume, just like with breakfast burritos, you can. Make sure they cool completely before wrapping them up in parchment and foil to freeze. I would also leave out some of the fresh toppings until you are ready to eat them, as they won't freeze well.

However you like your breakfast tacos, this little trick will take them over the top; I hope you love them!
