Summer Breakfast Tacos.
Or, the 15 minute meal that I can’t stop eating.
These are seriously, horrifyingly, embarassingly easy. They are what I want to eat for breakfast every day and what I make for dinner when 1. Eddie isn’t home and/or 2. I have no idea what else to make for dinner. That’s like all the time, really.
Do you ever have those nights when you’re like… NOTHING sounds good to eat but you’re super hungry? That’s where these come in. Make ’em. Try ’em. Serve them forever!
It’s 11:13 PM right now and I’m about two seconds and a whole lot of laziness away from making one of these for a late night snack. They never not taste good. NEVER.
It’s that or cinnamon sugar toast. Pick your poison.
I’ve made breakfast tacos before, but they were more of a comfort food version. Well, not that this isn’t comfort food – usually anything with scrambled eggs is deemed “comfort food” for me. But my previous version had potatoes and chorizo and was a bit heavier and slightly more time consuming that this version that can be made with your eyes closed.
15 minutes guys! FIFTEEN!
Okay. Maybe only 15 if you’re familiar in the kitchen. But even if you’re not, chances are you’ve scrambled some eggs before so you can probably get these made in 20 minutes or less.
Almost everyone makes breakfast tacos and I know that they aren’t a super special thing, but I was dying to share my favorite summery version with you. I’ve also been semi-uninspired in the kitchen lately and struggling for new and exciting ideas. It comes and goes, and right now all my fun and delicious ideas are going… somewhere. Other than my brain.
Anyhoo.
My must haves include the scrambled eggs, avocado and queso fresco (no other cheese) and lately, I’ve loved a big sprinkle of furikake. It just adds a touch of FLAVOR that I can’t replicate with a pinch of one seasoning.
Can we talk about how Eddie DOESN’T like to eat tacos like this?!
He’s not into breakfast tacos or breakfast burritos and I have no idea why.
I don’t even think he has any idea why. New life goal: get him to eat a breakfast taco by September.
The only other thing I’d maaaaybe add to these tacos is a drizzle of pesto or a drizzle of chipotle crema or a drizzle of… something, because I’m all about the drizzle. Avocado ranch? Chipotle avocado deliciousness? Let’s figure it out.
Fact: eggs taste better at dinner than they do at breakfast?
Fact for me, but I’m thinking there will be a day when I make these for both.
Summer Breakfast Tacos
Ingredients
- 4 large eggs
- 2 tablespoons unsalted butter
- small, 4-inch corn or flour tortillas, your preference!
- 1 avocado, thinly sliced
- 1 green onion, thinly sliced
- 1/4 cup sliced cherry tomatoes
- 1/4 cup chopped fresh cilantro
- 1/4 cup salsa for topping
- 1/4 cup crumbled queso fresco cheese
- 1 tablespoon nori furikake seasoning
Instructions
- Heat a large nonstick skillet over medium-low heat and add 1 tablespoon of butter. Lightly beat the eggs until just combined and then pour in the skillet. Stir and toss until the eggs cook, and right before them firm up, stir in the remaining tablespoon of butter and toss until it’s incorporated in the scrambled eggs.
- To assemble the tacos, add the sliced avocado on the bottom. Top with the eggs, tomatoes, some green onion, cilantro, salsa, queso fresco and a touch of furikake if you’d like. Devour!

This looks like heaven to me, great blog – I am glad I am following you !
thanks laura!
I’m in love all over love it ..👍😎
There is no shame in this game! Honestly, I’m not sure how I would survive if the planet were suddenly devoid of a) eggs and b) avocados. Also, even though these are “breakfast” tacos, I can still have them with a margarita, yes?
seriously, i live on both like crazy.
I love making breakfast tacos! My “must add” ingredient is usually a few pickled onions on the top – love the tangy flavor.
you inspired me to make some last night!
I love breakfast, I love tacos, so pretty much I love this recipe!! Looks so amazingly delicious, I wish I was eating these tacos right now instead of prepackaged food!
thanks nelida!

Ugh! I’m so sad I’m not home to make these right now! Perfect way to start the day. I used to be obsessed with flour tortillas now I can’t imagine not have corn tortillas for tacos – sooo good!
i go back and forth all the time!
A ridiculously easy recipe just means that I’m THAT much more likely to make them. These look perfect for breakfast or dinner or a snack…. anytime meals, ftw!
thanks erin!
These are totally my jam right now too! We’re eating them for breakfast AND dinner! Adding some queso fresco to them is fabulous – I need to get on that!
thanks katrina!
I would love to see how you get your tortillas like that, if they arent purchased pre-charred!
i char them on my gas stovetop! ;)
I think I’ll have to do this on our grill since I don’t have a gas stove!
love that idea!
i don’t even like eggs and i’m drooling. Frankie will be incredibly pleased by this revelation!
thanks ashley!
These look delicious! I never thought about making breakfast tacos before, but I want to now!
xo, Liz

thanks liz!
Looks delicious – anything wrapped up in a taco shell is usually good though, right?
always!
I think I just had a tacogasm.
DYING.
Yessssss! Breakfast tacos for the win!! I do this all the time but with beans or veggie burgers. That avo looks divine by the way. You’re images are always so beautiful!
http://www.sprinklesandsaturdays.com
oh that sounds so good.
I don’t have a gas stove to char them, any suggestions?
I just need fire.
I’m going to make these on our grill. We have a griddle that I can cook the eggs on, too.
you could put them under the broiler in your oven! they may not char exactly like this and you’d have to watch them the whole time, but it would help!
Eggs are my go-to for dinner with my husband isn’t around… for some odd reason, he does not understand the whole breakfast-for-dinner situation that I am ALL about. As always, the charring on the stove top terrifies me, but I’ll do it some day! And I promise to report back – assuming I don’t burn the place down…
i know! why are guys like that? eddie is the same.
Usually I’m not a big of salty recipes in the morning but this seems too perfect not to try! x

thanks jessica!
is there a recipe that i can make the tacos myself?
YUM!!! what kind of tortillas did you use? They look thick n fluffy!
la tortilla factory! love them.
hey girl these look oh so yummy!
Finish the meal with a flour tortilla, drizzled with butter then cinnamon sugar – roll it up and enjoy. Nothing tops cinnamon toast, but a cinnamon sugar tortilla roll up is a special kind of awesome.
oh my gosh – that sounds DIVINE.
I wish I liked avocados. I’m trying to think of something else to add in the tacos with the eggs. Grilled veggies possibly.
grilled veg would be delish!
Simple. Yes. But, a delicious reminder to MAKE this!! And what is this Furikake?? I gotta pick some up for that pop of flavor. Thank you my dear!
you do! it’s so wonderful.
Just the fact that you say things like breakfast tacos is the reason you’re one of my absolute favorite bloggers. Breakfast tacos should be a thing at brunch spots!

This looks and sounds delicious, I would just add some spiced black beans.

I made these last night for dinner and they were absolutely delicious! I couldn’t find any of the spice at our grocery store (small town, limited options) and my dear husband bought burrito sized tortillas! But delicious all the same!
glad you liked them!

Definitely summer breakfast tacos are amazing and looks yummi! Avocado in recipe is perfect! Avocado rich in several B vitamins and vitamin K, with good content of vitamin C, vitamin E and potassium. That’s why i prefer avocado:) Thx for sharing!
