The Easiest Crispy Breakfast Tacos
These are the ultimate breakfast tacos with a perfect layer of eggs all wrapped around your favorite fillings, keeping it all together.
Equipment
- skillet
Ingredients
- 6 Large Eggs
- 2 TBS Milk or water
- ½ teaspoon Salt
- ¼ teaspoon Pepper
- ¼ teaspoon Onion Powder
- 4 Tortillas of Choice I like the Siete grain-free ones
- Fillings of Choice bacon, sausage, potatoes, veggies ect.
Instructions
- 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.
- Preheat a small skillet (you want it slightly smaller than your tortilla) over medium heat with a bit of fat, depending on preference.
- 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)
- 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.
- 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.
Notes
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.
Tortillas 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 for 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.
