Ingredients

  • bacon (6 slices) - thick-cut recommended
  • salsa (4 tablespoons) - to serve
  • chopped fresh cilantro (2 tablespoons) - optional
  • sliced avocado (1 whole) - ripe
  • diced tomato (1 whole) - medium-sized
  • small flour tortillas (4 pieces)
  • shredded cheddar cheese (0.5 cups)
  • black pepper (0.25 teaspoon) - to taste
  • salt (0.5 teaspoon) - to taste
  • milk (2 tablespoons) - for creamier eggs
  • eggs (4 large)

Instructions

Prepare the Bacon

  • Preheat a large skillet over medium-high heat.
  • Cook the bacon slices until they are crispy and golden brown on each side, approximately 6-8 minutes.
  • Transfer the cooked bacon to a paper towel-lined plate to drain excess grease, then roughly chop into bite-sized pieces.

Scramble the Eggs

  • In a mixing bowl, whisk the eggs, milk, salt, and black pepper until well combined.
  • In a non-stick skillet over medium heat, pour the egg mixture and let it sit undisturbed for a few moments until it begins to set.
  • Gently stir the eggs with a spatula, folding occasionally until just cooked through and fluffy. Remove from heat.

Assemble the Tacos

  • Warm the tortillas in a dry skillet over low heat until they are pliable.
  • Place equal portions of scrambled eggs onto each tortilla.
  • Top the eggs with shredded cheddar cheese and let it melt slightly.
  • Add chopped bacon, diced tomatoes, sliced avocado, and sprinkle with cilantro.
  • Optionally, serve with salsa on the side for added flavor.

Tips

  • For extra flavor, consider adding sautéed onions or bell peppers to the scrambled eggs.
  • Warming the tortillas before assembling helps prevent them from tearing and makes them more flavorful.
  • Adjust the amount of bacon based on your preference. You can also use turkey bacon as a lighter alternative.
  • Feel free to swap cheddar cheese with pepper jack or Monterrey jack for a different cheesy twist.
  • This dish pairs well with fresh orange juice or a morning smoothie for a complete breakfast.
