How to Make Taco Breakfast Bowls

Cook potatoes

Preheat the oven to 400 degrees. Add baby potatoes to a sheet pan and drizzle with olive oil and sprinkle with salt and pepper. Bake for 15-20 minutes.

Cook taco meat

Meanwhile, add ground turkey, bell pepper, and onion to a large skillet and cook on medium-high heat until browned. Drain if necessary and add taco seasoning, stirring until mixed through.

Cook eggs

In a large bowl, crack the eggs and add salt and pepper, then whisk until fully combined. Heat a medium skillet to medium heat and add the eggs, stirring frequently until scrambled.

Assemble bowls

Once the potatoes are finished and everything is fully cooked, divide evenly among 6 individual containers. Sprinkle the cheddar cheese evenly on top. Let cool fully before storing.

How to Store

Once the bowls have cooled to room temperature, place the lids on top and store in the fridge. They’ll stay fresh for 5-6 days.

How to Freeze

Once the bowls have cooled to room temperature, place the lids on top and store in the freeze. They’ll stay fresh for up to 3 months. They’re still safe to eat after that, but they longer they’re in the freezer the more risk they have of freezer burn.

How to Customize These Breakfast Bowls

  • Feel free to use any kind of ground meat- ground turkey, ground beef, ground chicken, etc.
  • Use your own taco seasoning blend, or use your own favorite combination.
  • Add salsa or pico de gallo right before eating!
  • Top with sliced avocado for extra healthy fats.
  • Use a different kind of cheese: Cheddar jack, Monterey jack, etc.
  • Top with cilantro before refrigerating.
  • Add a spoonful of sour cream or plain Greek yogurt for some tang.
  • Instead of potatoes, you can cook some white or brown rice and add to your bowl.

Top Cooking Tips

  • Don’t overcook the eggs! It’s okay if they’re slightly undercooked. Reheating tends to dry them a bit, so cooking them until almost done seems to work better.
  • I seasoned everything, even if it’s all going to be mixed together anyway. Season the potatoes before baking and the eggs before whisking.
