Ingredients
– 4 pieces bacon
– 2 green onions, sliced
– 1 tablespoon olive oil
– 4 large eggs
– ½ cup shredded cheddar cheese
– Salt and pepper
– ½ avocado, small diced or sliced
– 2 tablespoons chopped fresh cilantro
– 4 small corn or flour tortillas
Instructions
1-First Step: Prepare Ingredients and Cook Bacon
Preheat your oven to 400°F (200°C). Arrange 4 pieces of bacon on a baking sheet lined with parchment paper for easy cleanup. Bake for 18 to 20 minutes until crispy. Drain cooked bacon on paper towels and crumble once cooled. While bacon cooks, slice green onions, separating white and green parts for cooking and garnish.
2-Second Step: Sauté Aromatics and Cook Eggs
Heat 1 tablespoon of olive or avocado oil in a non-stick skillet over medium heat. Add the white parts of the green onions and sauté for about 1 minute until softened. In a bowl, whisk 4 large eggs with a pinch of salt and pepper. Pour the eggs into the skillet and scramble gently over medium-low heat, stirring occasionally until soft and creamy, approximately 3-5 minutes. For extra creaminess, add a splash of milk before cooking.
3-Third Step: Warm Tortillas
Heat the tortillas gently in a dry skillet or over an open flame until edges are slightly browned and pliable. This step enhances flavor and prevents tortillas from tearing during assembly.
4-Fourth Step: Assemble the Breakfast Tacos
Layer scrambled eggs on each warmed tortilla, then add crumbled bacon, diced avocado, shredded cheese, chopped cilantro, and the green parts of the green onions. Add optional toppings such as salsa, pico de gallo, hot sauce, sour cream, or diced jalapeños to suit your taste preferences.
5-Final Step: Serve Immediately
Serve the easy breakfast tacos warm for the best flavor and texture. Consider pairing with refried beans or sautéed vegetables like bell peppers, mushrooms, or spinach for a heartier meal. Leftover eggs or bacon can be reheated gently to maintain moisture if making ahead.
