How to Make Breakfast Tacos
Step One: Preheat your oven to 400 degrees and line a baking sheet with parchment paper.
Step Two: Toss the diced sweet potatoes in the oil, sea salt, garlic powder, cumin, and chili powder until well coated. Place the diced sweet potatoes in a single layer on the lined sheet pan. Bake for 20-25 minutes until the sweet potatoes are slightly crisp on the outside and tender on the inside.
Step Three: When the sweet potatoes are done, it’s time to make the eggs. Add the eggs to a large mixing bowl and season with salt and pepper. Whisk until the eggs are well combined. Next, add a bit of avocado or olive oil to a skillet and heat over medium heat. Once hot add the thinly sliced green onion and sauté for 1-2 minutes. Next, add the eggs and gently cook until fluffy and set, moving them around the pan as needed.
Step Four: Evenly divide the sweet potatoes, and then scrambled eggs, among the flour tortillas. Next top with your favorite toppings and enjoy!
Topping and Serving Ideas
- avocado – a slice of fresh avocado or homemade guacamole is a great addition to these breakfast tacos, too!
- cilantro – you can add a sprinkle of fresh cilantro on top of each taco to finish them off!
- diced tomato – to add some freshness you can go with diced tomato or homemade pico de gallo!
- pickled onions – I love adding these to tacos for a fresh, sweet, and tangy bite. If you need to make a homemade batch you can use THIS RECIPE.
- jalapeños – thinly sliced fresher or pickled are both great options!
- sharp cheddar – for the perfect cheesy finish.
- Greek yogurt or sour cream – whole milk Greek yogurt or sour cream are both delicious.
- hot sauce – for the final spicy kick!
How to Store and Reheat
Store: if you have any leftover sweet potatoes, store them in an air-tight container in the fridge. I recommend making one egg per person so that you don’t have leftovers as the scrambled eggs are best fresh.
Reheat: you can reheat any leftover sweet potatoes in the oven at 400 degrees until warmed through or on the stovetop in a skillet over medium-high heat.
