Keeping It All Warm
“I love cold eggs,” said no one ever, which is why it’s important to cook up the bacon first, scramble all the eggs at once in a large pan, and warm up your tortillas immediately before serving.
Of course, you can warm the tortillas in the oven while you cook up the bacon and eggs; either way, this breakfast comes together really fast and you’ll want to serve it immediately. In a rush, you can microwave bacon too!
Can You Make Them Ahead?
These bacon and egg tacos are a terrific make-ahead breakfast option you can easily meal prep.
2-3 days ahead: in the fridge
Cook the bacon, scramble the eggs, toss them together, and once cooled, store them in an airtight container for up to 3 days.
When ready to eat, place a tortilla on a plate, top with some of the egg and bacon mixture, sprinkle some cheese, and warm it up in the microwave for about a minute.
Freezer-friendly
Double or triple the recipe and fully assemble the tacos. Let them cool down to room temperature on a parchment-lined sheet pan. Place them in the freezer for one hour and once frozen, wrap one to two tacos in plastic wrap and then store them inside a freezer zip bag for up to 30 days.
When you’re ready to eat, warm them up in the microwave for 1 minute, flip them over, and another minute on the second side.
