Ingredients
- 8 taco shells
- 8 large eggs
- 1/2 cup milk
- 1/4 teaspoon salt
- 1/4 teaspoon black pepper
- 1 cup shredded Cheddar cheese
- 1/2 cup cooked and crumbled breakfast sausage
- 1/4 cup diced green bell pepper
- 1/4 cup diced red bell pepper
- 1/4 cup diced onion
- Salsa, sour cream, and cilantro for garnish
Instructions
Preheat your oven to 375°F (190°C) to ensure the breakfast tacos bake evenly and crisp up nicely.
Place the taco shells upright in a 9×13-inch baking dish. This will create a sturdy base for the eggs and fillings while allowing the shells to become delightfully crispy.
In a medium bowl, whisk together the eggs, milk, salt, and black pepper. This will form the base for your filling, making it light and fluffy.
Stir in the shredded Cheddar cheese, cooked breakfast sausage, diced green bell pepper, red bell pepper, and onion. These ingredients add depth of flavor and a satisfying texture to the eggs.
Pour the prepared egg mixture evenly into each taco shell, filling them generously. Be sure not to overfill so the mixture doesn’t spill over during baking.
Place the baking dish in the oven and bake for 18-20 minutes, or until the eggs are set and the tops of the taco shells are golden brown and crispy.
Once the tacos are out of the oven, garnish them with your favorite toppings. Salsa, sour cream, and fresh cilantro are perfect complements to these savory breakfast tacos.
Notes
Serving Suggestions:
- Serve Immediately for the Best Taste: Oven-Baked Breakfast Tacos are best enjoyed fresh out of the oven while the shells are crispy and the filling is warm.
- Add Toppings: Customize each taco with additional toppings like fresh avocado, diced tomatoes, hot sauce, or shredded lettuce to elevate the flavor.
- Pair with Beverages: A refreshing side of fresh juice or a hot cup of coffee makes for a great breakfast combo.
Storage Tips:
- Refrigeration: If you have leftovers, allow the breakfast tacos to cool completely before storing them in an airtight container. They can be kept in the refrigerator for up to 3 days.
- Reheating: To reheat, place the tacos on a baking sheet in a preheated oven at 350°F (175°C) for about 10-12 minutes to keep the taco shells crispy. You can also microwave them, but the shells may lose their crunch.
- Freezing: If you’d like to store the breakfast tacos for a longer period, wrap each taco individually in plastic wrap or foil and freeze. When ready to enjoy, reheat directly from frozen in the oven for 20-25 minutes at 350°F (175°C).
