These healthy breakfast tacos are my favorite way to start the day! Filled with eggs, pico de gallo, and avocado, they’re flavorful and easy to make.
If you asked everyone in Austin where they get their favorite breakfast tacos, you’d get a different answer from every person. Austinites have opinions about breakfast tacos like Chicagoans have opinions about pizza.
When I lived in Austin, I ate more breakfast tacos than I could ever begin to count. Most I loved (some I didn’t), but after sampling them all over town, I learned that my favorite place to get breakfast tacos…is at home.
This breakfast tacos recipe is my favorite way to start the day. It features an egg scramble made with pico de gallo and cheddar cheese, plus avocado slices, cilantro, and plenty of hot sauce.
These breakfast tacos are fresh, healthy, and easy to make first thing in the morning. I love them, and I think you will too!
How to Make Breakfast Tacos
This breakfast tacos recipe starts with these simple ingredients:
Ingredients
- Eggs, of course! They create a satisfying, protein-packed filling.
- Avocado oil – For scrambling the eggs. Olive oil works too!
- Pico de gallo – This fresh tomato salsa adds zesty flavor to the quick egg scramble. It makes the filling similar to another of my favorite Austin-style breakfasts, migas, which are eggs scrambled with pico de gallo, cheese, and fried tortillas or tortilla chips. I skip the tortilla chips here, but the pico and cheese still give these tacos delicious migas-like flavor!
- Cheddar cheese or a Mexican cheese blend – It adds richness and tangy flavor to the scrambled eggs. Skip it to make this recipe dairy-free.
- Avocado – I love its creamy texture in these simple tacos.
- Tortillas – I like corn tortillas best, but feel free to use flour tortillas if you prefer.
- Cilantro – For freshness.
- And hot sauce – Serve it alongside your breakfast tacos for tangy, spicy flavor!

To make this breakfast tacos recipe, start by cooking the egg filling. Whisk the eggs in a medium bowl with a pinch of salt.
Then, cook half the pico de gallo. Sauté it in a medium skillet over medium heat until lightly softened, 3 to 5 minutes.
Add the eggs to the pan and scramble until just set. Finally, stir in the cheese.
Then, assemble the tacos. Divide the egg filling and avocado slices among the warm tortillas. Top with the remaining pico de gallo and fresh cilantro.
Enjoy! Don’t forget the hot sauce for serving.

Meal Prep Tips
This recipe is best right after it’s made, but if you want to get ahead, you can prep the pico de gallo in advance.
Store it in an airtight container in the refrigerator for up to 3 days. With it already prepped, you’ll be able to quickly assemble the tacos on busy mornings.
