What are the best ingredients to fill breakfast tacos?
You can really go wild, or just keep it simple. The recipe as written is basic and I want you to add whatever you like to yours! 
Veggies – onions, pepper, and mushrooms are a great option. I would sauté them before adding to the tacos!  Herbs – heck ya add cilantro – if you are not a person that thinks it tastes like soap!  Beans – add black beans to yours!  Don’t add sour cream or salsa. Add those when you go to eat them! The salsa makes them too soggy and sour cream won’t hold up and reheat well.  How to assemble and prep so they don’t fall apart!
Freezing a bag of breakfast tacos sounds a bit like a disaster, but have no fear, this is my trick to make this work. 

First of all, you bake them for a quick 5 minutes on a sheet pan, with another one on top to weigh the tortilla down.

This is just enough time to melt the cheese and make them stay together nicely.


How do I freeze them to make them last?
To prevent freezer burn, you want these to cool completely.

If they are warm at all, the steam will get trapped in your bag and create condensation, and then you have freezer burn. 



I let mine cool on the counter and then just put the tray in the freezer so that they freeze individually.

After a few hours, the tacos will be frozen individually. Now, you can transfer them to a freezer safe container. 



I store mine in these medium or large stand up Stasher bags (affiliate links). For Canadian affiliate links you can find these (and everything I use!) in my shop page. 
How to reheat without a soggy tortilla!
With the traditional freezer breakfast burritos, for best results you want to thaw them in the fridge overnight so that they reheat evenly. The tacos here are far more thin and so you don’t have to thaw them!

 In fact, I prefer to reheat from frozen!

How to reheat in a microwave from frozen – wrap your frozen breakfast taco in a paper towel and place on a plate. Microwave from one minute and check the taco. Continue to microwave in 30 second increments until warmed through out. 

To crisp it up, heat a pan and place on high heat until a crispy layer forms. I also use my Air Fryer to crisp it up once it is cooked.

To prevent a soggy tortilla, use a paper towel during reheat to absorb any excess moisture. Also do not add salsa into the taco (or any high moisture fixins such as tomatoes).
