Instructions
Creating Baked Breakfast Tacos is wonderfully straightforward. Follow these steps to ensure a delicious outcome:
1. Preheat the Oven: Preheat your oven to 350°F (175°C) to prepare for baking.
2. Sauté Vegetables: In a skillet, heat the olive oil over medium heat. Add the diced onion and bell pepper, cooking until soft, about 5 minutes.
3. Cook Eggs: In a mixing bowl, whisk the eggs with taco seasoning, salt, and pepper. Pour the egg mixture into the skillet with vegetables, stirring gently until cooked through.
4. Combine with Meat: If using sausage or chorizo, mix this into the cooked eggs and vegetables until thoroughly incorporated.
5. Prepare Tortillas: Arrange the tortillas on a clean surface. Spoon a portion of the egg mixture into each tortilla, then sprinkle cheese over the top.
6. Fold Tacos: Fold the tortillas to form tacos. If using corn tortillas, you may want to warm them slightly for better folding.
7. Bake Tacos: Place the folded tacos in a greased baking dish, seam side down. Bake in the preheated oven for about 20-25 minutes, or until the tortillas are slightly crisp and the cheese is melted.
8. Garnish: Once out of the oven, garnish with fresh cilantro if desired.
9. Serve: Allow to cool for a few minutes, then serve with salsa or hot sauce.
These simple steps will ensure your Baked Breakfast Tacos turn out brilliantly every time.
