Ingredients
  

  • 4 slices bacon sliced
  • 2 tablespoons canola oil or neutral oil
  • 4 cups potatoes cubed, ~1 inch
  • 2 ½ tablespoons Old El Paso™ Original Taco Seasoning Mix or similar
  • 8 soft corn tortillas 6-inch
  • 8 large eggs beaten
  • ½ cup shredded Monterey Jack cheese about 2 oz

Method
 

  1. Preheat oven to 375°F (190°C).
  2. Place bacon slices on an ungreased cookie sheet. Bake 10 minutes until crispy, then cool 5 minutes. Coarsely chop bacon.
  3. While bacon bakes, heat canola oil in a 10-inch skillet over medium heat. Add cubed potatoes and toss to coat in hot oil. Sprinkle taco seasoning over potatoes and stir to combine. Cook 15–20 minutes, turning every 5 minutes, until tender.
  4. Stand tortillas upright in an ungreased 13×9-inch glass baking dish to form taco shells.
  5. In another skillet, cook beaten eggs over medium heat, stirring until they begin to scramble. Remove from heat.
  6. Fill each tortilla with ¼ cup cooked potatoes. Divide scrambled eggs and bacon evenly among tacos. Top each with 1 tablespoon cheese.
  7. Bake in preheated oven 10 minutes until cheese melts and edges slightly crisp.
  8. Serve immediately while warm.

Notes

Use warm tortillas for easier shaping, and adjust taco seasoning to taste. Bake briefly to melt cheese and slightly crisp edges. Serve immediately for best texture.
