Equipment
- 1 Oven-safe baking tray
- 1 Non-stick skillet (10-inch recommended)
- 1 Silicone Spatula
- 1 Chef’s knife (8-inch)
- Measuring Spoons (set)
Ingredients
- 4 slices of bacon
- 2 green onions sliced separately (whites and greens)
- 1 tablespoon extra virgin olive oil
- 4 large eggs
- ½ cup shredded cheddar cheese
- Salt and black pepper to taste
- ½ small avocado diced
- 2 tablespoons fresh cilantro chopped
- 4 small tortillas
Instructions
- Crisp the Bacon: Preheat your oven to 400°F (200°C). Arrange the bacon slices on a baking sheet lined with parchment paper or foil. Place in the oven and bake for about 18 to 20 minutes until the bacon is nicely crisped. Once done, transfer the bacon to a plate lined with paper towels to absorb excess grease and set aside.
- Prepare the Aromatics: Heat the olive oil in a medium skillet over medium heat. Add the white parts of the green onions and sauté for about one minute, until fragrant and slightly softened.
- Cook the Eggs: In a bowl, whisk the eggs thoroughly until smooth. Pour the eggs into the skillet over the sautéed onions. Gently stir with a spatula, folding the eggs continuously as they cook. Cook until the eggs are softly set but still moist and fluffy, avoiding overcooking.
- Assemble the Tacos: Warm the tortillas slightly to make them pliable. Spoon a portion of the scrambled eggs onto each tortilla. Top with crumbled bacon, diced avocado, a sprinkle of shredded cheddar, the green parts of the green onions, and fresh cilantro. Finish by seasoning with salt and pepper according to taste.
- Serve and Enjoy: Serve the breakfast tacos immediately while warm, allowing the blend of savory, creamy, and fresh flavors to shine.
Notes
- For extra convenience, bake the bacon in advance and store it in the fridge for up to three days. Reheat briefly before assembling tacos.
- Using a non-stick skillet ensures the eggs cook evenly without sticking, resulting in tender scrambled eggs.
- Feel free to swap cheddar cheese with a different melting cheese like Monterey Jack or Pepper Jack for a flavor twist.
- To keep the tacos gluten-free, use corn tortillas instead of flour tortillas.
- Fresh herbs like cilantro add a bright finish, but you can substitute with parsley if preferred.
