Crunchy Breakfast Tacos
As most of you know, BFD (Breakfast for Dinner) is a BFD around here! And, when tacos are involved, it’s next level. Our delicious crunchy breakfast tacos come together super fast, couldn’t be easier and are great delight for the entire family!
Serves 6, 2 tacos each
Ingredients:
12 eggs
2/3 cup heavy whipping cream
1 tsp kosher salt
1/2 tsp black pepper
2 Tbsp unsalted butter
12 tortillas (roughly 8” in diameter)
6 oz queso fresco or cotija cheese, crumbled
1 cup black beans, drained
3 scallions, diced
Hot sauce, optional
To Serve:
Grape tomatoes, chopped
1/2 cup cilantro, roughly chopped
2-3 scallions, chopped
Cilantro Crema (see recipe below)
Directions:
Whisk together eggs, heavy cream, salt and pepper in a large bowl. Whisk vigorously until well combined and frothy.
Heat a large skillet over medium low heat. Melt butter. Add egg mixture. Cook over low to medium low heat until barely set and still slightly loose. While cooking, use spatula to pull frequently from edges so eggs don’t overcook. Low and slow is essential here as they will bake more in the oven.
Preheat oven to 350 degrees.
Spray baking sheet with nonstick spray or line with parchment paper. Spread out tortillas. Evenly distribute eggs amongst tortillas, only covering one half of each tortilla so they can be easily folded for cooking. Top with black beans, scallions and half of the queso fresco. Drizzle with hot sauce, if desired. Gently fold the tortillas in half. Spray with nonstick spray or drizzle gently with olive oil.
Bake tacos 7-8 minutes, broiling last 30-60 seconds to crisp.
Garnish with extra cheese, cilantro, scallions and tomatoes.
Note: I really like to use uncooked tortillas as an option here. It allows them to nicely warm in the oven and not overcook. Should you choose an uncooked option, they may require a few extra minutes to bake.

1 bunch fresh cilantro, stems removed
1/2 jalapeno (remove seeds if you want it less hot)
