Some families like ours have nice big meals this time of the year. We decided to go with ham this year because our kids like ham and we knew all of them would eat it with no complaints. So I purchased a whole ham but after one meal there was enough leftovers for four more meals. So instead of just re-heating the ham I decided to take the leftovers and make a whole new meal out of it.
I made sandwiches on sweet rolls the next day for lunch but for dinner one night I made ham, egg and veggie breakfast taco’s. A very simple recipe really and I did not have to go out and buy anything special, I used what we already had in the fridge.
Ingredients:
10 eggs (this fed 7 people)
1 yellow pepper
1 onion
2 cups of diced ham
1 teaspoon of coconut oil
salt and pepper
1 cup of shredded cheese
3/4 cup of milk
soft tacos
First I sauteed the peppers and onion in coconut oil. While these sauteed in a separate cooked I cracked open my 10 eggs and added my milk and whisked it together. Once the peppers and onion was done sauteing I added the ham and cooked for a few more minutes. Next I added the egg mix and allowed it to cook for a few minutes on medium high and then added the ham. While cooking I added the salt and pepper which I just eyeballed (I know how much my family likes their eggs seasoned). When the eggs were cooked I added them into my soft taco’s and sprinkled shredded cheese to the tops. For me I also added salsa but no one else liked this idea but it was good with it!

I love making breakfast tacos. They are so tasty! I haven’t made them in awhile but now that you have reminded me 🙂
YUM! I love tacos… so it’s even better when I can enjoy them for breakfast 🙂 Thanks for sharing.
We are preparing for a snow storm today and kids are already asking what we will do for breakfast this weekend. I think I found my answer , everything is fun in a taco . This looks great. I love the one pan meal!
This looks great! I don’t know why but I always forget to make something like this for myself and the kids. I love breakfast taco’s.
This looks so delicious. I must try it this weekend. My son loves a good taco.
Ohhh! I am totally making these tomorrow. We have everything and my kids would love this!
This is a great way to change up breakfast. I will have to get the ingredients I need to make some this weekend for brunch. I am sure they will be a big hit.
This looks so easy and delicious to make. I infact love morning taco’s as they are quick and filling for a long time.
I never thought of making a breakfast taco before. My kids like scrambled eggs and ham, and I like them with cheese, so we would probably like them in a soft taco too. Thanks for the idea.
I love this idea, it is making me hungry! We always rush around so much during the week that on the weekends we like to slow down and have a nice breakfast. This is a new one to try, thanks for the idea!
Those look great. My favorite use for ham is Hot Ham Sandwiches. They are amazing. http://www.homeecathome.com/the-home-economist/hot-ham-sandwiches
Great recipe! My kids said that they love the idea of tacos for breakfast! So cool! 🙂
