Ingredients
  

For the Eggs
  • 4 large eggs Fresh eggs are key for fluffy, creamy texture.
  • 1 tbsp butter Enhances richness and helps prevent sticking in the pan.
For the Filling
  • 8 strips bacon Provides a delightful crunch; swap for turkey bacon for a lighter bite.
  • 4 pieces flour tortillas Soft and pliable, can use corn tortillas for gluten-free.
  • 1 cup cheese Cheddar or Monterey Jack; try vegan cheese for a plant-based twist.
  • 1 medium avocado Adds creamy texture and healthy fats; sour cream can be used as an alternative.
For the Toppings
  • 1 cup salsa Bright and refreshing, customize your level of spice!
  • 0.25 cup cilantro Fresh and aromatic, adds vibrant flavor.
  • 0.5 cup sour cream Adds coolness; Greek yogurt can be a healthy substitute.

  • microwave

Method
 

Step-by-Step Instructions
  1. Preheat your oven to 250°F (120°C). Line a baking sheet with parchment paper and lay out the bacon strips in a single layer. Bake for about 15 minutes, or until they're crispy and golden. Drain the bacon on paper towels before crumbling it into bite-sized pieces.
  2. In a non-stick skillet set over medium heat, add a tablespoon of butter and allow it to melt. Crack the fresh eggs into a bowl and whisk until combined. Pour the eggs into the skillet and reduce the heat to low. Stir gently for about 5 minutes, until the eggs are soft, creamy, and just set.
  3. While your eggs are cooking, warm your flour tortillas in a dry skillet over medium heat for about 20 seconds per side, or wrap them in a damp paper towel and microwave them for about 30 seconds.
  4. On each tortilla, layer a scoop of creamy scrambled eggs, crumbled bacon pieces, and a sprinkle of your favorite cheese. Top with avocado slices.
  5. Sprinkle fresh salsa, cilantro, and a dollop of sour cream (or Greek yogurt) over the tacos. Serve immediately while warm.
