Ingredients
  

For the Tacos

  • 8 pieces flour tortillas Swap for corn tortillas to make it gluten-free.
  • 1 cup Mexican-style shredded cheese Substitute with goat cheese or spicy pepper jack if desired.
  • 1/2 cup salsa Serve more salsa on the side.

  1. Cook breakfast potatoes according to package instructions or roast homemade diced potatoes with olive oil, salt, and pepper until golden and crispy.
  2. Whisk eggs in a medium bowl until pale yellow.
  3. Spray a skillet with cooking spray, heat over medium, and pour in whisked eggs. Cook gently to create soft, fluffy curds.
  4. Warm flour or corn tortillas in the microwave for 30 seconds or cover corn tortillas with a damp paper towel while heating.
