Ingredients
Frozen hash browns, chunky cut
2 cups (Cook according to package directions, about 1-inch chunks)
Vegetable oil
2 tablespoons (For tossing potatoes)
Sweet paprika
1 teaspoon (Part of seasoning mix for potatoes)
Chili powder
1 teaspoon (Part of seasoning mix for potatoes)
Cumin
1/8 teaspoon (Part of seasoning mix for potatoes)
Garlic powder
1/8 teaspoon (Part of seasoning mix for potatoes)
Large eggs
6 (Cracked into a bowl for egg shells)
Cooking spray
1 can (6 ounces) (For coating the skillet)
Nacho cheese sauce
1 can (15 ounces) (Heated before serving)
Cheddar cheese, shredded
1/4 cup (For topping tacos)
Pico de gallo
1/4 cup (Optional topping for tacos)
Instructions
1
Prepare the frozen hash browns according to the package instructions. Midway through cooking, drizzle the Fiesta Seasoning Oil over the potatoes, tossing well to coat each piece. Once golden brown and crispy, set aside the seasoned potatoes.
2
In a microwave-safe bowl, heat 1 cup of nacho cheese sauce for 1-2 minutes until warmed through, stirring occasionally.
3
To create the naked egg shells, preheat your oven to 400°F (200°C). Crack the eggs into a medium bowl, taking care not to break the yolks. Generously coat a 12-inch skillet with cooking spray and place it over medium-high heat. Carefully pour the eggs into the skillet, spacing them evenly apart.
4
Allow the eggs to cook undisturbed until the whites start to bubble and become opaque, approximately 2 to 3 minutes. Once ready, transfer the skillet to the preheated oven and bake until the eggs are just set in the center, about 6 to 8 minutes. When done, use a kitchen towel to protect your hand as you remove the skillet from the oven.
5
Gently loosen the edges of the cooked eggs from the pan using a silicone spatula. Flip the eggs onto a clean cutting board. Using a 4 1/2-inch round pastry cutter or a sharp knife with a small plate, cut out two rounds from the cooked eggs to form the taco shells.
6
Fill each naked egg taco shell with a generous portion of the seasoned Fiesta Potatoes, followed by the warm nacho cheese sauce and a sprinkle of shredded cheddar cheese. If desired, top with fresh pico de gallo for a burst of flavor. Serve immediately and enjoy your vibrant breakfast creation!
