Equipment
Ingredients
- 3/4 pound potatoes any variety, cut into 2-inch pieces
- 1 tablespoon olive oil
- Salt and ground black pepper
- 8 large eggs
- 1/4 cup milk
- 1 teaspoon chili powder
- 1/2 teaspoon ground cumin
- 1/2 teaspoon onion powder
- 1/2 teaspoon garlic powder
- Salt and freshly ground black pepper
- 1 tablespoon butter
- 1 1/2 cups shredded cheddar cheese
- 4-6 slices bacon cooked until crisp (see note above)
- 8-12 tortillas of choice such as street tacos, small flour tortillas or small soft corn tortillas
Optional Toppings
- Salsa
- Guacamole or diced avocado
- Lime wedges
- Sour cream
- Cilantro
- Black beans
- Chopped scallions/green onions
- Diced tomatoes
Instructions
- Preheat the oven to 400 degrees. Line a large baking sheet with parchment paper or foil.
- Place the potatoes in a large bowl, add the olive oil and toss to coat. Transfer the potatoes to the prepared baking sheet and spread out in a single layer. Season with salt and pepper. Roast for 20 to 25 minutes, until the potatoes are golden brown and tender.
- In a large bowl, whisk together the eggs, milk, chili powder, cumin, onion powder, garlic powder, 1/2 teaspoon salt, and 1/4 teaspoon black pepper. Melt the butter in a large skillet over medium heat. When the butter is bubbly, add the egg mixture and cook until the eggs are cooked but still moist, stirring occasionally. Top the eggs with the cheese, remove the pan from the heat and cover with foil. Let sit for about 1 minute, until the cheese melts.
- Serve the cheese-coated eggs, potatoes, and bacon in the tortillas. Serve with optional toppings and garnishes on the side.
