- Fresh cilantro
Instructions
- Begin by preparing all the ingredients for your breakfast taco board. Gather your tortillas, scrambled eggs, bacon or sausage, cheese, avocado, salsa, and fresh cilantro.
- Cook the bacon or sausage in a skillet over medium heat until it is crispy and fully cooked. This should take about 5-7 minutes. Once cooked, remove from the pan and let it drain on paper towels to absorb excess grease.
- In the same skillet, scramble the eggs. Crack the eggs into a bowl, whisk them together with a pinch of salt and pepper, then pour them into the hot skillet. Stir gently until the eggs are fully cooked and fluffy, about 3-4 minutes.
- While the eggs are cooking, prepare the avocado. Cut it in half, remove the pit, and scoop the flesh into a bowl. Mash it slightly with a fork, adding a pinch of salt and a squeeze of lime juice if desired.
- Grate or slice the cheese of your choice (cheddar, Monterey Jack, or queso fresco work well) and set it aside.
- Once all the components are ready, warm the tortillas. You can do this by placing them in a dry skillet over medium heat for about 30 seconds on each side, or you can wrap them in foil and place them in a preheated oven at 350°F (175°C) for about 10 minutes.
- Now, it's time to assemble your breakfast taco board. On a large serving platter or board, arrange the tortillas, scrambled eggs, crispy bacon or sausage, cheese, mashed avocado, salsa, and fresh cilantro.
- Encourage guests to build their own tacos by layering their preferred ingredients onto a tortilla. They can start with eggs, add meat, sprinkle cheese, dollop avocado, and finish with salsa and cilantro.
- Serve immediately while everything is warm, and enjoy a fun and interactive breakfast experience!
Tips
- Ingredient Prep is Key: To save time and keep the breakfast board flowing smoothly, prepare all your ingredients ahead of time. Chop the avocado, cook the meat, and scramble the eggs so everything is ready to go when it’s time to serve.
- Choose Your Tortillas Wisely: Flour tortillas are soft and pliable, making them great for breakfast tacos, while corn tortillas offer a gluten-free option with a distinct flavor. Consider offering a mix to cater to everyone’s preferences.
- Get Creative with Toppings: While the classic ingredients are delicious, don’t hesitate to add extras like jalapeños, diced tomatoes, or even pickled onions for an extra zing. Encourage your guests to personalize their tacos with unique toppings.
- Keep Everything Warm: To ensure a delightful experience, keep your tortillas warm by wrapping them in a clean kitchen towel or placing them in a low oven. This will make them more enjoyable to eat and easier to work with.
- Make it a Family Affair: Turn breakfast into a fun family activity by letting everyone build their own tacos. Set up the board with all the ingredients and let creativity run wild—who knows what delicious combinations will emerge!
- Don’t Forget the Cilantro: Fresh cilantro adds a burst of flavor that elevates your breakfast tacos. Make sure to chop some up and sprinkle it on top for that authentic Mexican touch.
- Serve with a Side: Consider pairing your breakfast taco board with a refreshing drink, like a fruit smoothie or a classic Mexican hot chocolate, to complete the meal and impress your guests.
