Ingredients for Bacon Breakfast Tacos
Here’s a quick overview of what you’ll need. For exact measurements, keep scrolling down to the printable recipe carb below!
- Tortillas – You can use corn, flour, gluten free or low carb tortillas in this recipe. The nutritional information below the recipe reflects a low carb tortilla for keto-friendly options.
- Large Eggs – I used whole eggs. If you prefer using egg whites only, substitute each egg with 2 egg whites.
- Crumbled Bacon – Freshly cooked and crumbled bacon tastes best, but you can use store-bought bacon bits if that works better for you.
- Shredded Cheddar – Other cheeses like pepper jack, colby, swiss, and gouda would also be fantastic in these tacos. Use a mix of cheeses if you’d like!
- Toppings – For this recipe I love the combination of avocado, green onion and jalapeño, but you can use your favorite ingredients such as sour cream and salsa if you prefer.
How to make breakfast tacos with bacon
There are a few steps to these tacos, but you can easily set this meal up so everyone can assemble their own tacos! To make this easy breakfast recipe you simply need to follow this guide:
- Bacon: Cook the bacon until crispy and roughly chop. This is an easy step to do the night before if you want to make breakfast come together quickly.
- Scramble: Scramble the eggs. I prefer fresh eggs, but it is safe to reheat eggs, so this step can actually be done the night before as well if you prefer.
- Assemble: Warm the tortillas if you wish, fill with warm sausage, eggs, cheese and veggies!

Storage
The freshest way to store these tacos is by keeping ingredients separated in the fridge in airtight containers. However, if you prefer to have these ready to pull out of the fridge at any point, you can assemble them
Easy breakfast tacos can be stored in the fridge in an airtight container. For the freshest tortillas, do not assemble them ahead of time — Instead, store your tortillas separately.
Freeze
We love a good freezer recipe! These breakfast tacos can be frozen with a few alterations. All of the taco’s ingredients are easily freezable EXCEPT avocado. Previously-frozen avocados end up quite mushy and slimy instead of creamy. So instead, you can freeze these without the avocado.
After assembling the tacos, line them up flat on a baking sheet without the tacos touching one another. Freeze them for 1-2 hours, then you can move them from the baking sheet to a freezer bag. If you intend to keep these frozen for more than a couple weeks, you may want to wrap the tacos (either individually or in packs of 2-3) in a double layer of plastic wrap before tossing into the freezer bag.
Thaw and use the tacos within 2-3 months to keep the best texture and flavor. You can thaw these individually in the microwave, but you’ll get the best tacos if you allow it to thaw slowly in the fridge overnight.
Reheat
These tacos can be reheated in several ways, depending on what’s most important to you.
- Microwave – Heat in 45-second bursts on 50-75% power. This can be done whether they are already thawed or are still frozen. To prevent a soggy tortilla, add a paper towel underneath and on top of the tacos. Best for 1 serving at a time.
- Air Fryer – Preheat to 325, then place 1-4 tacos (wrapped in aluminum foil) in the air fryer. Heat for 4-8 minutes, opening the foil in the last minute or two to help crisp up the tortilla. Best for 1-3 servings at a time.
- Oven – Preheat to 350, then place foil-wrapped tacos in the oven on a baking sheet. Heat for 5-10 minutes, opening the foil near the end so any soggy tortilla spots can crisp up. Best for 3+ servings at a time.
