Pair your baked breakfast tacos with a refreshing fruit salad or a smoothie to create a well-rounded breakfast. This not only adds more nutrients to your meal but also brings in different textures and flavors that complement the tacos beautifully.

Instructions

Preheat the Oven

Preheat your oven to 350°F (175°C).

Prepare Tortillas

Lightly spray a muffin tin with cooking spray. Gently press each tortilla into a muffin cup to form a shell.

Whisk Eggs

In a bowl, whisk together the eggs, salt, and pepper until well combined.

Add Fillings

Distribute the sausage, bell peppers, and onions among the tortilla shells. Pour the egg mixture evenly into each shell.

Bake

Sprinkle cheese on top of each taco and bake in the preheated oven for about 20 minutes, or until the eggs are set and the tortillas are golden.

Serve

Remove from the oven, let cool slightly, and garnish with fresh cilantro before serving.

Tips for Success

To ensure your breakfast tacos turn out perfect every time, it’s important to not overfill the tortillas. A well-balanced filling will prevent them from breaking apart and make them easier to eat. Aim for a generous but manageable amount of filling in each taco shell, allowing the eggs to shine through.

Make sure to keep an eye on the baking time. Every oven is different, so start checking your tacos around the 15-minute mark. You want the eggs to be fully set and the tortillas to have a golden brown color for that perfect crunch.

Serving Suggestions

These baked breakfast tacos can also be served as an appetizer or brunch item for gatherings. Simply make a larger batch, and watch as your guests enjoy them. They’re not only delicious but also visually appealing, making for a delightful addition to any brunch spread.

For a complete breakfast experience, consider serving these tacos alongside a warm cup of coffee or tea. The comforting flavors of the tacos paired with a hot beverage create a delightful morning ritual that everyone will appreciate.
