Southwest Breakfast Tacos are one of my all-time favorite weekend brunch ideas.
These tacos are incredibly easy and SO delicious.
Great for a brunch with friends, easy breakfast for the morning after kids sleepovers, or just a quick and delicious meal for yourself.
My favorite way to serve these is to set out the skillet full of sausage, veggies, and scrambled eggs, tortillas, cheese, hot sauce, and cilantro, and let everyone make their own tacos.
What could be easier?
I’m already looking forward to serving this for gameday brunches in the fall. This will for sure be a hit!
If you’re serving these for a 21+ crowd, these would pair wonderfully with my Grapefruit Infused Tequila Old Fashioned recipe. Who doesn’t love a boozy brunch?
Plan these for an upcoming weekend soon – your family and friends will thank you!

These look delicious! I never use corn tortillas, but they look really good!
Thank you! I love getting a nice char on the tortillas! It’s so good.
I have never had a breakfast taco, and I just bought corn tortillas for my enchiladas tonight, so I”m really excited to give these a shot. Pinned for later!
