What Are These Breakfast Tacos Like

  • Difficulty – These tacos are pretty easy to make. I made Homemade Country Fries which require peeling, cutting and cooking the potatoes. If you prefer you can use store bought hash browns for a similar result.
  • Taste – These breakfast tacos have a great flavour of crisp country fries, bacon and cheese. If you love these flavours, these tacos should go on your list soon!
  • Serving – This recipe makes 6 small tacos. You can easily adjust the serving size in the recipe card at the end of the post.

Ingredients to Make Breakfast Tacos

Instructions

  1. Cook potatoes – Heat the vegetable oil in a medium sized deep sided skillet. Add the potatoes and cook, tossing lightly as they cook for about 10 – 15 minutes until lightly golden and soft. Remove from heat and drain on paper towels. Season with salt and set aside.
  2. Assemble the tacos – On a clean surface, lay out the mini tortilla wraps. Evenly divide the potatoes between the six tortillas. Top with bacon, cheese and onions. Fold over all the mini tortillas and firmly press them down.
  3. Cook tacos – Heat your skillet over medium heat and add a drizzle of oil. Add as many tortillas as you can and cook for about 2 – 3 minutes until golden, then flip them over. Continue to cook for another couple of minutes until golden and crisp.
  4. Serve – Remove from heat and serve with your favourite toppings.

Recipe Tips

  • Prep ahead – You can cook the potatoes up to one day before making these breakfast tacos. Just store them in the fridge until you are ready to assemble the tacos.
  • Easy way to cook bacon – The easiest way I find to cook bacon is in the oven. Place it on a rack over a baking tray. Cook for about 12 – 15 minutes in a preheated 375ºF oven. It will cook perfect every single time.

Substutions

  • Mini four tortillas – You could easily use corn tortillas or even hard shell taco shells if you prefer.
  • Cheddar cheese – Why not opt for Havarti, Gouda, Edam or even Mozzarella.
  • Additions – Feel free to add scrambled eggs, bell peppers or any other ingredients that you love. These are merely just suggestions.

Frequently Asked Questions

Can you substitute corn tortillas for flour tortillas?

Corn tortillas are not as soft as flour tortillas and need warming before serving. If you are making a recipe where warm tortillas are required, you can use corn tortillas.
