eggs and bacon breakfast tacos

Ingredients

  • 8 slices of thick-cut bacon
  • 8 large eggs
  • 1/4 cup whole milk
  • 1 tablespoon butter
  • 1 cup shredded cheddar cheese
  • 8 small flour tortillas
  • 1 small onion diced
  • 1 bell pepper diced
  • 1 jalapeño seeds removed and finely diced (optional)
  • 2 cloves garlic minced
  • 1/2 teaspoon salt
  • 1/4 teaspoon black pepper
  • Hot sauce to taste
  • Fresh cilantro chopped
  • 1 avocado sliced
  • Lime wedges for serving

Instructions

  • Cook the bacon in a large skillet over medium heat until crispy, about 8-10 minutes. Remove to a paper towel-lined plate and once cool, chop into bite-sized pieces.
  • Pour off most of the bacon grease, leaving about 1 tablespoon in the pan. Add the diced onion, bell pepper, and jalapeño (if using) to the skillet and sauté until softened, about 4-5 minutes.
  • Add the minced garlic and cook for another 30 seconds until fragrant.
  • In a bowl, whisk together the eggs, milk, salt, and pepper until well combined.
  • Add the butter to the vegetable mixture and once melted, pour in the egg mixture. Cook, stirring occasionally, until the eggs are scrambled but still slightly wet, about 3-4 minutes.
  • Stir in the chopped bacon and shredded cheese. Remove from heat once the cheese begins to melt.
  • Warm the tortillas in a dry skillet or in the microwave for about 15-20 seconds.
  • Spoon the egg mixture onto each tortilla, top with avocado slices, fresh cilantro, and a squeeze of lime. Add hot sauce if desired.
  • Fold the tortillas and serve immediately!
