Easy breakfast ideas

Though oatmeal is my go-to breakfast, many mornings eggs grace my table. I may have a fried egg with toast or eggs scrambled with leftover vegetables. And sometimes (often) I eat egg tacos at lunch!

But when I have a little more time on weekends, I like to make these Spinach & Egg Breakfast Sandwiches!

And I love whoever came up with the idea of “brinner” (breakfast for dinner). This is a legitimate excuse to eat grits at night. What’s not to love about that?!

But I love tacos about as much as I love breakfast so why not put the two together?

My Easy Egg & Avocado Breakfast Tacos are one of my favorite ways to have eggs. I have these for breakfast but also for lunch when I’m working from home and want something quick – which is all the time.

Best way to reheat tortillas

You can heat tortillas in many ways.

In the microwave wrapped in a damp napkin helps keep the tortillas pliable. Using a dry skillet is easy and still adds a little flavor – particularly to homemade masa/corn tortillas or flour ones.

I am a fan of heating tortillas using a flame – on a gas stove. This is not for everyone and if you do it, do so at your own risk. But that’s how I do it to get a lovely char.

Ways to make breakfast tacos

Below is the simple recipe for these easy breakfast tacos. But these tacos are easy to customize.

Tips for reheating tortillas

Using a dry skillet is easy.

I am a fan of holding tortillas over a flame with tongs. You’ll need a gas stove for it of course. And this method is not for everyone. If done improperly it can be a fire hazard. So doing that is at your own risk. I am not responsible for the results.

I personally use this method to get the lovely char and flavor.
