These Easy Breakfast Tacos prove are my go-to when I want a high protein meal without the hassle. They take less than 15 minutes to pull together and are packed with 22g of protein to keep you full.
I always toast the corn tortillas on the griddle to keep them from getting soggy and to bring out their flavor. Top them with fresh salsa or jalapenos and breakfast is ready!

Why These Tacos Work for Me
- Actually filling: 22 grams of protein keeps you satisfied way longer than a bowl of cereal.
- No extra dishes: Using pre-made refried beans and one small skillet keeps the cleanup fast.
- Use what you have: It's a flexible recipe, so use whatever cheese or veggies you have on hand.
What You'll Need for these Tacos
See the recipe card below for a full list of ingredients and instructions.
- Corn Tortillas: These give you that classic toasted flavor and are the perfect size for a quick "street taco" style breakfast.
- Vegetarian Refried Beans: these add a layer of creaminess and act as the "glue" to keep your scrambled eggs from sliding out of the tortilla.
- Fresh Veggies: Diced jalapeno, onion, and tomato add a fresh crunch that balances out the warm eggs and melted cheese.
Make it Your Own
- No Corn Tortillas? Use small flour tortillas or even a wrap. Just keep an eye on them on the griddle as they brown much faster than corn.
- Out of refried beans? Mash up some canned black beans or pinto beans with a fork and splash of water.
- Missing fresh veggies? Stir a tablespoon of your favorite jarred salsa or canned green
Round out Your Breakfast
These tacos are great on their own, but if you want a fuller spread, they pair perfectly with a scoop of my homemade refried beans. For a bigger brunch add a side of Mom's Skillet Home Fries, or a bowl of Ginger Lime Berries.

I'm an honorary group A member this week, and loving all of the delicious recipes I'm finding. I used to LOVE breakfast tacos before I developed all of my food allergies. 🙁 These look like they turned out so good Shelby.

I love the idea of breakfast tacos! I am kind of obsessed with breakfast burritos, but I've never tried doing it as tacos...sounds amazing!

I'm glad you liked these! I'm also not a big fan of corn tortillas but have gravitated toward them since they're low carb. 🙂
