Scale
Main Ingredients:
- 4 large eggs
- 4 strips bacon, cooked and crumbled
- 4 small flour tortillas
- 1/2 cup shredded cheddar cheese
Fresh Produce:
- 1/2 cup diced tomatoes
- 1/4 cup diced red onion
- 1/4 cup fresh cilantro, chopped
Seasonings and Extras:
- 1 tablespoon olive oil
- Salt, to taste
- Pepper, to taste
- Sour cream (optional)
- Hot sauce (optional)
Instructions
- Gently warm olive oil in a skillet over medium heat, transforming flour tortillas into crisp yet flexible vessels by toasting each side for approximately 1-2 minutes. Transfer the prepared tortilla shells to a waiting plate.
- Utilize the same skillet to craft fluffy scrambled eggs, whisking continuously until fully cooked and seasoned with salt and pepper, creating a soft, golden base for the tacos.
- Construct the breakfast tacos by layering the freshly scrambled eggs as the foundational element within each crispy tortilla shell.
- Enhance the taco’s flavor profile by generously sprinkling crumbled bacon across the eggs, providing a smoky and crunchy textural contrast.
- Distribute shredded cheddar cheese over the warm eggs, allowing it to slightly melt and create a creamy, rich dimension to the taco.
- Add vibrant freshness with a scattering of diced tomatoes, providing a juicy and bright element to the breakfast creation.
- Sprinkle finely chopped red onion for a sharp, aromatic kick that complements the other ingredients.
- Garnish with delicate cilantro leaves, introducing a herbaceous note that elevates the overall taste experience.
- Crown the taco with a luxurious dollop of sour cream, offering a cool and tangy counterpoint to the warm ingredients.
- Optional: Drizzle hot sauce for those desiring an extra spicy punch to awaken the morning palate.
- Serve immediately, ensuring the tacos maintain their optimal temperature and crispy texture for a delightful breakfast indulgence.
Notes
- Tortilla Technique: Warm tortillas in a skillet with a light brush of olive oil to achieve the perfect crispy-soft texture without breaking.
- Egg Mastery: Scramble eggs slowly over medium heat, constantly stirring to create soft, fluffy curds that don’t dry out or become rubbery.
- Customization Magic: Swap bacon for vegetarian alternatives like plant-based bacon, roasted mushrooms, or black beans to accommodate different dietary preferences.
- Make-Ahead Hack: Prepare components separately and store in airtight containers, allowing quick assembly of tacos during busy mornings or for meal prep.
