Ingredients

  • 5 eggs large
  • Teaspoon coarse kosher salt
  • Teaspoon black pepper
  • 1 Tablespoon butter
  • 5 tortillas 7-inch
  • ½ Cup cheddar cheese shredded
  • 5 Slices bacon cooked
  • 1 avocado diced
  • ½ Cup tomatoes diced
  • 2 Tablespoons cilantro chopped

Instructions

  • In a bowl beat the eggs, salt, and pepper with a fork. Set aside.
  • To a sauté pan add the butter over medium heat. Once melted and the butter is hot, which is approximately 1 to 2 minutes add the eggs, salt, and pepper to the sauté pan.
  • Mix until the eggs are scrambled, which should take 1 or 2 minutes. Remove the sauté pan from the heat.
  • To a tortilla shell add the eggs, cheese, bacon avocados, tomatoes, and top with cilantro. Serve hot.

Notes

Bacon hack: You can cook the bacon in the air fryer or oven.
Warm tortillas: Pop them in the microwave for 20 seconds or so.
Season well: Don't forget to season your scrambled eggs generously with salt and pepper for maximum flavor.
Serve immediately: Breakfast tacos are best enjoyed fresh and hot. Serve them immediately after assembling them to ensure they're at their peak deliciousness.
Prep ahead: Preparing ingredients like chopping vegetables and pre-cooking meats the night before can significantly reduce morning prep time. And you get precious extra minutes to make coffee while the breakfast tacos cook. Keep everything in separate airtight containers in the fridge until needed.
