Spicy Breakfast Tacos - Made Easy

final1.jpg

This morning I was craving some sort of breakfast sandwich, burrito...something. However, I didn't have time to run to the store and so I had to make due with what was on hand, and quickly, so I could start my day. This is the result. Taking advantage of store bought tater tots and a quick way to scramble eggs, these spicy breakfast tacos are delicious and flexible.

Ingredients:

  • 4 large eggs
  • 4 soft taco tortillas
  • 1/2 bag store bought tater tots (approx. 20 tots)
  • 4 thin slices mild cheddar cheese
  • Salsa Brava (optional, Salsa Brava is a hot sauce with the consistency of ketchup)
  • Spice Rub (optional)
  • Cooking spray
  • Add'l ingredients, as desired (bacon, sausage, etc...)

Prepare tater tots according to package instructions. While the tots are in the oven, scramble the eggs using the microwave method below.

Microwave Scrambled Eggs

In a microwave-safe bowl sprayed with cooking spray, beat 4 large eggs. Microwave for 1 minute. Beat with fork. Microwave 1 minute. Beat again with fork. Season as desired, and microwave for 45 more seconds.

Allow the eggs to rest and move on to the next step.

Prepare Tacos

Use the cup method from my Spicy Soft Tacos Made Easy Instructable to melt cheese onto tortillas. Repeat until all 4 soft tacos are nice and cheesy.

When the tots are done baking (which shouldn't be long after the tortillas are prepped), place 4-5 tots on top of cheesy tortillas and gently mash with a fork (at this point I like to season my tots with a nice spice rub). Top each tortilla with 1/4 of the scrambled eggs and optional hot sauce. Add any additional toppings you desire, like bacon, breakfast sausage, ham, etc...

Enjoy!
