Back to my OCD-themed mania.
I entered this recipe after making these tacos for a crowd—-my family at Christmas one year. I have written by the recipe that I received a “cheap” prize package. I have no recollection except I might have gotten the stuffed animal-type egg creature that is in our toy box.
Chipotle Breakfast Tacos for a Crowd
A great brunch item for a “make your own” buffet.
Serves 121 lb. chipotle sausage (J.C. Potter recommended)*
1 small onion, chopped
1 red bell pepper, chopped
1 clove garlic, minced
4 small new potatoes
8 farm fresh eggs, beaten
Salt and pepper
12 corn tortillas
1 c. marble jack cheese, grated
Salsa on the side (optional)Brown and crumble sausage in a large skillet. When sausage is just browned, add onion, bell pepper, and garlic. Cook for another 4-5 minutes until onions are tender.
Wash and scrub new potatoes. Place in a covered microwaveable dish and microwave on high for 5 minutes. When cool enough to handle, chop into ½ inch pieces. Set aside.
Lower heat on skillet to lowest setting and add eggs and potatoes. Season with salt and pepper.
Heat tortillas in microwave for 20 seconds. To assemble tacos, place about 1/3 c. meat and egg mixture in tortilla, sprinkle with cheese, fold over and serve with salsa on the side.
*Note: If you can’t find chipotle sausage, use regular breakfast sausage and add a bit of chipotle powder.
This is a very versatile recipe. Case in point—the last time I made these, I hadn’t been to the store for a while. I didn’t have any onions, but I did have a shallot. I didn’t have any fresh bell peppers, but I did have a dried guajillo . I didn’t have corn tortillas, but I did have flour. We still had breakfast!
I also won a year’s supply of eggs for another recipe sponsored by this same egg company. To see that recipe, click here. That recipe was truly one inspired by what was only on hand; I was using everything from the garden.

YUM! I didn’t know JC Potter made Chipotle sausage – I will look for it!
But, I couldn’t find it the last time I looked. Had to use chipotle powder.
Oooh ~ I bet you won the egg thing 🙂
Must have been Eggland’s Best, I got that egg plush toy too and Jessie loves to play fetch with it. It’s now a brown egg-hehe. Can’t imagine someone buying that! lol. Your breakfast tacos are so yummy!! I was thinking chipotle sausage was chorizo but that’s not right. Where did you find it? I’ve never seen it but I haven’t looked either. Holy crizzle, you have a “notify via email if someone replies to my comment” check box. I LOVE YOU!!! Never will miss replies again. YESSSSSSSSSSSSSSSSSSSSS!
Yes, I am slow, but I finally figured it out!!!!!! 🙂
Happy happy joy joy!
Breakfast tacos? Mexican can never come too early 😀
Cheers

I have a breakfast dish I’ll be making for dinner this week. I love breakfast for dinner instead…lol!! I haven’t seen the chipotle sausage but I know I can create my own version. I have plenty of venison sausage to use 🙂
Venison? Yum! I know you can pull that off!
This would be a wonderful lunch option for me!
Or brinner! 🙂
Those look great for a hearty breakfast before doing outdoor activities. I might try this with some Cajun chicken sausage I have in my freezer.
What a tasty and hearty breakfast!!! I make a similar one with chorizo sausage and of course red or green chile. 🙂 You’ve got a winner taco here!
i love love LOVE that you used corn tortillas!! i do not like flour ones – and the fact that you served them for breaky? fabulous! so going to remember this recipe 🙂
xo!
[…] I had the hardest time choosing a dish from Deb. Because I basically want to live in a corner of her kitchen and be her official taste-tester. I almost made her Brioche Rolls, and then almost cooked up her Chipotle Breakfast Tacos. […]
