Steak Egg & Cheese Tacos
I’m a tacohead. I love a good taco and will travel great distances for a good taco joint.
Since I had to keep Cinco de Mayo at home this year, I made my own tacos.
The thing I love most about these steak, egg and cheese tacos are that they’re great anytime of the day, breakfast, brunch, lunch and dinner. Enough writing. I hope you enjoy.
P.S. If you do not eat red meat just substitute your protein of choice.

Tips for success: Use your favorite steak for this recipe and cook it to your desired temperature. This recipe is for a medium done steak. This recipe calls for scramble eggs since it’s for a large crowd but you can make the eggs anyway you like. If you cannot find tajin seasoning chili powder is a great substitute. Use your favorite cheese as a substitute for the pepper jack.
