Description

Start your day with these quick and satisfying breakfast tacos, filled with crispy potatoes, fluffy eggs, and melted cheese—perfect for busy mornings or leisurely brunches.


Ingredients

Scale
  • 2 medium Yukon Gold potatoes
  • 4 large eggs
  • 1 cup shredded cheddar or Monterey Jack cheese
  • 4 medium flour tortillas
  • 1 tbsp olive oil
  • Salt and pepper to taste

Instructions

  1. 1. Prepare the Potatoes: Peel and dice the Yukon Gold potatoes into small cubes. Heat olive oil in a skillet over medium heat. Add the diced potatoes, season with salt and pepper, and cook until golden brown (about 10-15 minutes), stirring occasionally.
  2. 2. Whisk the Eggs: While the potatoes cook, crack the eggs into a bowl. Whisk them with a pinch of salt until frothy.
  3. 3. Cook the Eggs: Once the potatoes are crispy, push them to one side of the skillet. Pour the whisked eggs into the empty space. Scramble gently until fully cooked.
  4. 4. Combine Ingredients: Mix the crispy potatoes back in with scrambled eggs in the skillet. Sprinkle shredded cheese on top while warm to allow it to melt.
  5. 5. Assemble Your Tacos: Warm tortillas in a separate pan or microwave. Spoon generous amounts of the potato-egg-cheese mixture onto each tortilla.
  6. 6. Serve: Transfer tacos to plates and garnish with optional toppings like salsa or avocado if desired. Enjoy warm!
