# Steps:

01 - Preheat oven to 375°F. Lightly grease a rimmed sheet pan with olive oil or nonstick spray.
02 - Arrange the tortillas on the pan, folding up the edges slightly to create a shallow cup for each.
03 - In a bowl, whisk eggs with milk, salt, pepper, and smoked paprika until well combined.
04 - Evenly divide the egg mixture among the tortillas. Sprinkle shredded cheeses over the eggs.
05 - Scatter cherry tomatoes, red onion, bell pepper, and, if using, cooked sausage or bacon over the cheese.
06 - Bake for 16–18 minutes, or until eggs are just set and cheese is melted.
07 - Remove from oven. Top with avocado, cilantro, and a spoonful of salsa. Serve immediately.

# Expert Advice:

01 -
  • The egg mixture bakes right into the tortilla shells creating this incredible crispy-to-soft texture transition that youll think about for days after.
  • Everything cooks on a single sheet pan so you can actually enjoy your morning coffee while breakfast practically makes itself.
02 -
  • Dont skip folding the tortilla edges or youll end up with flat egg pancakes instead of proper tacos.
  • Resist the urge to check the tacos too early as opening the oven door causes temperature fluctuations that can lead to uneven cooking.
03 -
  • If youre feeding a crowd, you can easily double this recipe and use two sheet pans, rotating them halfway through baking for even cooking.
  • For extra-crispy tortilla edges, brush the rims with a tiny amount of oil before adding the egg mixture.
