Make a delicious steak and eggs breakfast in taco form! These breakfast tacos are going to be a huge hit!
Steak and Eggs Tacos
I had the idea for these Baked Steak and Eggs Breakfast Tacos while down in Jacksonville for St. Patrick’s Day. At brunch with friends, I saw Steak and Egg Nachos on the menu.
Of course I ordered it, but…it was pretty disappointing to be honest. Something about picking up the bits of scrambled egg with a chip, the lack of cheese (THEY MUST HAVE CHEESE), and just the overall set up wasn’t quite right.
I loved the classic steak and eggs flavor combo (along with the other tex mex flavors), but I wanted to switch up the presentation. By baking everything together in a taco shell, you can pack in the cheese, scrambled eggs , steak, pico de gallo , cilantro, sour cream, and it comes out just right!
This is my favorite breakfast tacos recipe because you get that breakfasty feeling with the eggs, but it still tastes like a truly great Tex Mex taco!
How to Make Breakfast Tacos
This recipe for breakfast tacos for a crowd is truly the best! Baking the tacos together in a baking dish makes it really easy to make a lot of tacos, for a lot of people, without hassle.
- Cook Ingredients: Start by cooking the steak on the stove, then cook the eggs with green chiles. This preps the ingredients for baking.
- Assemble Tacos: Place taco shells in a baking dish, then fill with cheese, eggs, steak, and a little more cheese.
- Bake Tacos: Bake the steak and egg tacos for 12-14 minutes at 400°F. Cheese will melt and the shells should look a little toasty.
- Top and Serve: Once they’re done baking, top each taco with pico de gallo, sour cream, and cilantro. You can switch out the toppings for avocado, tomatoes, or whatever you prefer.
Be sure to read the recipe card for the full, detailed instructions.
Breakfast Tacos Recipe – Variations
If steak and eggs isn’t your thing, you can follow the basic recipe but switch up the ingredients.
- Use chicken or pork instead of steak.
- Skip the meat and make them vegetarian tacos.
- Add different toppings, like avocado, cotija cheese, taco sauce , or salsa.
- If you want to up the breakfast flavor, try mixing in some potatoes (steak, eggs, and potatoes sounds so good!).
I hope you love these Baked Steak and Eggs Breakfast Tacos as much as we do. Perfect for a crowd, or also great heated up for all day eating! Easy recipes for the win!

This Essential Grocery List is an absolute life saver for my family on the busy weeks. When I started this journey to learn how to cook, I quickly realized that the first step in cooking is having staple ingredients on hand. I want to avoid having to run out to the grocery store every single time I prepare a new recipe. Having a well-stocked pantry has made my life in the kitchen so much simpler, because when it’s time to cook, I have what I need.
Essential Grocery List
It’s so helpful to have a basic grocery list to help me remember which foods to buy at the store. This food shopping list is my go-to!
It’s better to stock up on things like grains, seasonings and spices, baking essentials, oils, condiments, canned and frozen foods, etc. so I can just grab them when I need them. These things have a long shelf life , so I keep them in my kitchen for convenience.
However, I do have to go to the supermarket sometimes, and there’s a way to make that trip easy and hassle-free: I keep a grocery list! If I go in blindly, I’ll leave with things I don’t need, and nothing that actually helps me prepare a good meal.
In the list below, I’ve compiled everything I always have on my stock-up grocery list.
I’ve got you covered! I created an easy grocery list filled with all of the essentials. Plus there’s a free printable version that you can take with you to the grocery store. It has everything you need to stock your pantry, your freezer, and your refrigerator.

What to Buy at the Grocery Store
This is the perfect grocery list filled with all the basics and essentials. It should help get you going if you’re new to cooking, or if you’re just left staring helplessly at an empty pantry and don’t know how to fill it.
When I first started cooking, things could seem overwhelming. I quickly realized that they more prepared I could be, the more confident I felt. If you already have the basics in your kitchen, then you can shop stress-free.
So print out our easy grocery list, stock up your pantry and fridge, and you’ll be cooking in no time!
