Start with fluffy scrambled eggs, fresh salsa and velvety ripe avocado. The only way to upgrade this vegetarian combination would be to make the eggs the way taquerias do in Texas and across the Southwest, by adding strips of soft corn tortilla to the scramble. Called migas, the addition of the tortillas matches the softness of the eggs with substance. And it means that you don&#8217;t have to choose corn or flour tortillas for your tacos, at least not before breakfast.<\/p>\n<h2><strong>Ingredients for Breakfast Tacos<\/strong><\/h2>\n<ul>\n<li><strong>Onion, jalapeno pepper and canola oil :<\/strong> Sauteeing onion and jalapeno pepper in a little neutral oil lays a flavor base that the migas absorb. Seed the pepper if you like, or leave the seeds in for a spicier edge.<\/li>\n<li><strong>Corn tortillas: <\/strong>Torn into pieces or cut into strips and fried along with the eggs, corn tortillas soften in the egg mixture and add a pleasant chew to the scramble.<\/li>\n<li><strong>Flour tortillas: <\/strong>Soft and stretchy flour <a href=\"https:\/\/www.tasteofhome.com\/collection\/how-to-make-homemade-tortillas\/\" data-name=\"www.tasteofhome.com\/collection\/how-to-make-homemade-tortillas\/\" data-module=\"content engagement\" data-position=\"embedded links\">tortillas<\/a> hug the migas mixture for these breakfast tacos. Warm them in the microwave or on a hot griddle for a few moments for the best flavor and flexibility.<\/li>\n<li><strong>Eggs: <\/strong>You can&#8217;t make this scramble without breaking some eggs, though if you want to use tofu in the style of a <a href=\"https:\/\/www.tasteofhome.com\/article\/how-to-prepare-tofu\/\" data-name=\"www.tasteofhome.com\/article\/how-to-prepare-tofu\/\" data-module=\"content engagement\" data-position=\"embedded links\">tofu scramble<\/a> that would work too.<\/li>\n<li><strong>Tomato:<\/strong> Chopped fresh tomato adds juicy sweetness and a little tang to breakfast tacos. Prep them yourself, seeding the tomatoes if they&#8217;re very juicy, so they don&#8217;t make tortillas soggy.<\/li>\n<li><strong>Cheese: <\/strong>A soft, melty cheese adds richness to a breakfast taco. We recommend fresh curds of crumbled queso fresco or shredded Monterey Jack cheese for a melty cheese pull, but you can really use anything you like.<\/li>\n<li><strong>Toppings (optional)<\/strong>: Honestly, all you need to make a taco is a filling and a tortilla, but adding refried beans, sliced avocado, sour cream and\/or chopped fresh cilantro all add welcome flavor and texture contrasts to make this breakfast taco recipe even better.<\/li>\n<\/ul>\n<h2><strong>Directions\u202f<\/strong><\/h2>\n<h3>Step 1: Fry the vegetables and cook the migas<\/h3>\n<p><img loading=\"lazy\" decoding=\"async\" class=\"alignnone size-large wp-image-2036494\" src=\"https:\/\/www.tasteofhome.com\/wp-content\/uploads\/2024\/08\/PS_TOHD24_50402_LauraScherb_2.jpg?fit=700%2C1024\" alt=\"Cook the vegetables for breakfast tacos\" width=\"700\" height=\"1024\" data-recalc-dims=\"1\" \/><span class=\"credits-overlay\"><span class=\"image-credit noskim\">Laura Scherb for Taste Recipes<\/span><\/span><\/p>\n<p>In a large skillet, saute onion and jalapeno in oil until tender.

Bacon and breakfast sausage work too!<\/li>\n<li><strong>Increase veggies:<\/strong> Add nutrition and flavor to breakfast tacos by adding veggies such as bell peppers, sliced mushrooms, spinach or even some frozen diced hash browns. For best results, saute them along with the onion and jalapeno to drive off any excess moisture before proceeding with the recipe as written.<\/li>\n<li><strong>Top with a salsa or hot sauce:<\/strong> Finish your tacos with <a href=\"https:\/\/www.tasteofhome.com\/recipes\/pico-de-gallo\/\" data-name=\"www.tasteofhome.com\/recipes\/pico-de-gallo\/\" data-module=\"content engagement\" data-position=\"embedded links\">pico de gallo<\/a> in place of the diced tomato or add a drizzle of tomatillo <a href=\"https:\/\/www.tasteofhome.com\/recipes\/fresh-salsa-verde\/\" data-name=\"www.tasteofhome.com\/recipes\/fresh-salsa-verde\/\" data-module=\"content engagement\" data-position=\"embedded links\">salsa verde.<\/a><\/li>\n<\/ul>\n<h2><strong>How to Store Breakfast Tacos<\/strong><\/h2>\n<p>Migas-stuffed breakfast tacos really are best as soon as they&#8217;re assembled, because reheating them can push the scrambled egg from fluffy to overly firm. If you&#8217;re ok with more of a lukewarm breakfast or you need to prep these to take on the go, wrap them in a paper towel (to absorb the condensation) and then in foil (to retain the heat). Store any leftover components separately in airtight containers in the refrigerator.<\/p>\n<h3><strong>Can you freeze breakfast tacos?<\/strong><\/h3>\n<p>Freeze breakfast tacos the same way you <a href=\"https:\/\/www.tasteofhome.com\/recipes\/freezer-breakfast-sandwiches\/\" data-name=\"www.tasteofhome.com\/recipes\/freezer-breakfast-sandwiches\/\" data-module=\"content engagement\" data-position=\"embedded links\">freeze breakfast sandwiches<\/a>. Make the migas mixture, cooking the eggs a little shy of where you like them and fill the tortillas. Hold off on adding the tomatoes or any additional toppings as freezing will make them soggy. Wrap each taco tightly in two layers: first in waxed paper, then in foil. Freeze the individual tacos in a freezer-safe airtight container or freezer bag.<\/p>\n<p>To enjoy each frozen taco, remove the foil. Microwave the waxed paper-wrapped taco at 50% power for one minute, until thawed. Turn the taco over, then microwave it at 100% power for another 30 to 60 seconds, until fully heated through (you can check the internal temperature with a digital thermometer: it should read at least 160\u00b0F). Let the taco rest for a minute, add salsa or any other toppings, and enjoy!<\/p>\n<h2><strong>Breakfast Taco Tips<\/strong><\/h2>\n<p><img loading=\"lazy\" decoding=\"async\" class=\"alignnone size-large wp-image-2036496\" src=\"https:\/\/www.tasteofhome.com\/wp-content\/uploads\/2024\/08\/PS_TOHD24_50402_LauraScherb_7-scaled.jpg?fit=700%2C1024\" alt=\"These breakfast tacos will wake you up with their delicious flavors!\" width=\"700\" height=\"1024\" data-recalc-dims=\"1\" \/><span class=\"credits-overlay\"><span class=\"image-credit noskim\">Laura Scherb for Taste Recipes<\/span><\/span><\/p>\n<h3>Can you make this recipe gluten-free?<\/h3>\n<p>Absolutely.
