How to Make Tasty Baked Breakfast Tacos

Ingredients:

4 slices bacon
2 tbsp canola oil
4 cups potatoes, cut into 1-inch cubes
2 1/2 tbsp Old El Paso™ original taco seasoning mix (from 6.25 oz container)
8 soft corn tortillas (6-inch)
8 eggs, well beaten
1/2 cup Monterey Jack cheese, shredded (2 oz)

Directions:

Preheat the oven to 400°F (200°C).
In a skillet, cook the bacon over medium heat until crispy. Remove the bacon and let it drain on paper towels. Leave some bacon grease in the skillet.
Add the canola oil to the skillet, then toss in the potatoes. Cook for about 10-15 minutes, stirring occasionally, until golden brown and tender.
Sprinkle the taco seasoning mix over the potatoes and stir well. Cook for another minute until mixed.
In each corn tortilla, add some of the potato mixture. Crumble the bacon on top of the potatoes.
Pour a little beaten egg into each taco, filling it up but not overflowing. Top with shredded Monterey Jack cheese.
Place the filled tacos on a baking sheet and bake in the preheated oven for about 15-20 minutes or until the eggs are set and the cheese is melted.
