Ingredients

Meat

  • 4 slices bacon

Eggs

  • 4 large eggs
  • 2 tablespoons milk
  • salt to taste
  • 1 teaspoon butter

Tortillas

  • 4 taco size flour tortillas

Toppings

  • ½ cup shredded cheddar cheese
  • 1 avocado
  • 1 cup pico de gallo


Instructions

  1. Cook the bacon: Preheat the oven to 400° F. Line a rimmed baking sheet with foil, folding up the edges to catch the grease. Lay the bacon slices in a single layer on the baking sheet. Bake for 12-20 minutes, until cooked to your desired crispness. Transfer the bacon to a paper towel lined plate to absorb excess grease.
  2. Prepare the eggs: Crack the eggs into a medium bowl, add milk and a pinch or two of salt. Whisk vigorously until the mixture is well combined and uniform.
  3. Scramble the eggs: Melt the butter in a small nonstick skillet over medium-low heat. Once melted, spread the butter evenly over the bottom of the skillet. Pour in the egg mixture and let it cook undisturbed for 1 minute. Then use a rubber spatula to gently and slowly scrape across the bottom and sides of the skillet, folding the eggs repeatedly. Continue until the eggs are mostly set but still moist and fluffy, then remove the pan from heat to avoid overcooking.
  4. Warm the tortillas: Heat the tortillas either in a microwave for a few seconds or in a dry skillet over medium heat until warm and pliable.
  5. Assemble the tacos: On each warmed tortilla, layer scrambled eggs, shredded cheddar cheese, crumbled bacon, sliced avocado, and a generous spoonful of pico de gallo. Serve immediately for the best texture and flavor.

Notes

  • The exact bacon cooking time varies depending on thickness and preference; watch closely past 12 minutes.
  • Use fresh pico de gallo or homemade for added freshness and flavor.
  • For a healthier alternative, use whole wheat tortillas or turkey bacon.
  • To make the tacos spicier, add sliced jalapeños or hot sauce as a topping.
  • Ensure not to overcook scrambled eggs to maintain their moist and fluffy texture.
