Helpful Tips Before You Start:

⤞ Choosing and Prepping the Potatoes: Cut the potatoes into even 1-inch cubes so they cook evenly. Toss them well in oil and taco seasoning before cooking to coat every side. You can also use frozen diced potatoes to save time just adjust cooking time slightly.
⤞ Getting Perfectly Crispy Bacon: For crispier bacon, start baking it in a cold oven lined with foil. As the oven heats up, the fat renders slowly, giving you perfectly crispy strips. Once cooked, chop into small pieces for even distribution in each taco.

⤞ Tortilla Handling Tips for Best Texture: Warm your tortillas before filling to make them pliable. This helps prevent cracking while baking and keeps the edges soft but slightly crisp after heating in the oven.
⤞ Soft, Fluffy Scrambled Eggs Every Time: Scramble eggs gently over medium heat. Remove them from the pan while still slightly soft — they’ll continue cooking inside the oven. Overcooked eggs can become rubbery, so keep an eye on them.

Substitutions and Customizations:

⤞ Swap bacon for sausage or ham if you prefer.
⤞ Any type of potato works — even frozen diced ones.
⤞ Use your favorite cheese like cheddar or pepper jack.
⤞ You can also replace corn tortillas with flour ones for a softer bite.

Serving Suggestions:

⤞ Pair your tacos with fresh fruit, refried beans, or Mexican rice.
⤞ A spoonful of pico de gallo or slices of avocado adds brightness and balance.

Notes:

⤞ Warm tortillas before filling to avoid toughness.
⤞ Do not overcook eggs—they will finish cooking in the oven.
⤞ Cut potatoes into even cubes, for consistent texture.
⤞ Bake bacon from a cold oven, for crispier results.
