Ingredients
Units
Scale
- 4 small flour tortillas
- 4 large eggs
- 4 strips of bacon, cooked and crumbled
- 1/2 cup shredded cheddar cheese
- 1/2 cup diced tomatoes
- 1/4 cup diced red onion
- 1/4 cup fresh cilantro, chopped
- 1 tablespoon olive oil (for frying)
- Salt and pepper, to taste
- Sour cream (optional, for topping)
- Hot sauce (optional, for topping)
Instructions
- In a skillet, heat olive oil over medium heat. Warm the flour tortillas in the pan for 1-2 minutes on each side until they are slightly crispy but still pliable. Set them aside.
- In the same skillet, scramble the eggs over medium heat until fully cooked. Season with salt and pepper to taste.
- Assemble the tacos by placing scrambled eggs in each tortilla shell, followed by crumbled bacon, shredded cheddar cheese, diced tomatoes, red onion, and cilantro.
- Top with a dollop of sour cream and a drizzle of hot sauce, if desired.
- Serve immediately while the tacos are still warm and crispy.
Notes
- For extra crunch, you can crisp the tortillas even more by frying them in a little oil until golden brown before adding the filling.
- Feel free to substitute the bacon with sausage or vegetarian options like avocado and black beans.
- These tacos can be made ahead of time and reheated for a quick breakfast on busy mornings.
