How to Make Breakfast Tacos
Step 1: Mix the eggs
In a medium bowl, whisk together the whole eggs, egg whites, salt, and black pepper until fully combined.
Step 2: Sauté the Veggies
Heat a large skillet over medium heat. Add the diced onion, jalapeño, and grape tomatoes. Cook for 3–4 minutes until softened and fragrant.
Step 3: Scramble the Eggs
Pour the egg mixture into the skillet with the veggies. Gently scramble the eggs until soft, fluffy, and fully cooked.
Step 4: Warm the Tortillas
Warm the corn tortillas directly over a gas flame for a few seconds per side or heat them in a dry skillet until warm tortillas become soft and pliable.
Step 5: Assemble the Tacos
Fill each tortilla with the egg mixture. Top with shredded cheese, chopped pre-cooked bacon, and your favorite toppings.
