Mexican breakfasts are insanely good, almost without question. Huevos Rancheros, breakfast burritos, and Chilaquiles… I could go on and on. The only downside to those dishes is that they can take some time to make. These Breakfast Tacos, on the other hand, are super quick to make and just as flavorful.
What kind of tortillas are best with this recipe?
- Tortilla selection should be based on dietary preference. In my family we eat mostly gluten free so we buy gluten free tortillas. The good news is that any kind of tortilla works in this recipe- gluten free, regular, corn, or spinach.
Do I really need to make my own salsa for these?
The short answer is- no, you don’t. You can save yourself some time and buy pre-packaged salsa. However, the salsa recipe I list below is REALLY easy to make and will taste a lot fresher than anything you will find in a grocery store.
Top tips for this recipe:
- To scramble these eggs perfectly, cook them on low heat and move the eggs around slowly. Impatient people will never make great scrambled eggs, so take your time with them.
- After cooking onions, reduce heat to low and cool off pan a bit before adding in eggs so you don’t burn the eggs.
