How to Make Tasty Baked Breakfast Tacos
Ingredients:
- 4 slices bacon
- 2 tbsp canola oil
- 4 cups potatoes, cut into 1-inch cubes
- 2 1/2 tbsp Old El Paso™ original taco seasoning mix (from 6.25 oz container)
- 8 soft corn tortillas (6 inch)
- 8 eggs, well beaten
- 1/2 cup Monterey Jack cheese, shredded (2 oz)
Directions:
- Preheat your oven to 350°F (175°C).
- In a skillet, cook the bacon until crispy. Remove the bacon and drain on paper towels. Chop the bacon into small pieces.

- Bake in the preheated oven for about 25-30 minutes, or until the eggs are set and the cheese is melted and bubbly.
- Remove from the oven and let cool for a few minutes before serving.
