Method

Preparation

  1. 1

    Prepare the Ingredients

    Gather all the ingredients for your breakfast tacos.

  2. 2

    Shred the Potatoes

    If using whole potatoes, shred them using a grater or food processor. Rinse them under cold water to remove excess starch, then pat dry with a clean towel.

Cooking the Protein

  1. 3

    Cook the Protein

    In a skillet over medium heat, cook the chorizo, bacon, or sausage until fully cooked and browned, about 5-7 minutes. Remove from skillet and set aside.

Cooking the Potatoes

  1. 4

    Cook the Shredded Potatoes

    In the same skillet, add a little oil if needed and cook the shredded potatoes until crispy and golden brown, about 8-10 minutes. Season with salt and pepper.

Scrambling the Eggs

  1. 5

    Scramble the Eggs

    In a bowl, whisk together the eggs, milk, salt, and black pepper. In the same skillet, melt the butter over medium heat, then pour in the egg mixture. Cook, stirring gently until the eggs are set but still soft, about 3-5 minutes.

Assembly

  1. 6

    Assemble the Tacos

    Warm the flour tortillas in a dry skillet or microwave. On each tortilla, add a layer of scrambled eggs, followed by shredded potatoes, and your choice of cooked protein. Top with cheese, salsa, avocado, and cilantro if desired.

  2. 7

    Serve

    Fold the tortillas in half and serve immediately while warm.
