Treat your ingredients with care...

  • Bacon — For a healthier alternative, you can use turkey bacon or vegetarian bacon strips.
  • Avocado — Choose a ripe avocado that is slightly soft when gently squeezed. To prevent browning, drizzle the avocado slices with lemon or lime juice.

Tips & Tricks

  • Add a sprinkle of crumbled queso fresco or shredded cheddar cheese for an extra cheesy touch.
  • Customize your tacos by adding sliced jalapenos or hot sauce for a spicier kick.
  • Serve with a side of refried beans or Mexican rice for a complete breakfast meal.
  • If you prefer a vegetarian version, omit the bacon and add sautéed bell peppers and onions instead.
  • Make a big batch of scrambled eggs and keep them warm in a slow cooker for a brunch gathering.

Serving advice

Serve the Mexican Sunrise Breakfast Tacos hot, accompanied by a side of fresh fruit or a small salad. They are perfect for a leisurely weekend breakfast or brunch with friends and family.

Presentation advice

Arrange the tacos on a platter, garnish with additional cilantro leaves, and serve with a colorful salsa on the side. The vibrant colors of the ingredients will make the dish visually appealing.
