breakfast tacos with potatoes

Ingredients

  • 2 medium russet potatoes diced into ¼-inch cubes
  • 1 tablespoon olive oil
  • 1 small onion diced
  • 1 red bell pepper diced
  • 2 cloves garlic minced
  • 8 large eggs
  • ¼ cup milk
  • 1 teaspoon cumin
  • ½ teaspoon smoked paprika
  • ¼ teaspoon cayenne pepper optional
  • Salt and pepper to taste
  • 8 small flour or corn tortillas
  • 1 cup shredded cheddar cheese
  • ¼ cup chopped fresh cilantro
  • Hot sauce salsa, and sour cream for serving
  • 1 avocado sliced (optional)

Instructions

  • Heat the olive oil in a large skillet over medium heat and add the diced potatoes. Cook them for about 10-12 minutes, stirring occasionally until they're golden and crispy on the outside but tender inside.
  • While the potatoes are cooking, whisk together the eggs, milk, cumin, paprika, cayenne, salt, and pepper in a bowl. Set this mixture aside.
  • Once the potatoes are nearly done, add the onion and bell pepper to the same skillet and cook for another 3-4 minutes until they're softened. Then throw in the garlic and cook for 30 seconds until it's fragrant.
  • Pour the egg mixture into the skillet with the potatoes and vegetables. Reduce the heat to medium-low and gently stir occasionally until the eggs are just set but still moist, about 3-5 minutes.
  • While the eggs are finishing up, warm the tortillas. You can do this directly over a gas flame for 10-15 seconds per side, in a dry skillet, or wrapped in damp paper towels in the microwave for 30 seconds.
  • To assemble, spoon the egg and potato mixture onto each warm tortilla, top with shredded cheese, cilantro, and any other toppings. Fold and enjoy while they're hot!
