Description
Indulge in the vibrant flavors of Mexico with these Hearty Mexican-Style Breakfast Tacos.
Ingredients
Scale
- 8 slices bacon
- 1 tablespoon butter
- 6 eggs, whisked
- 4 tortillas, warmed
- 1 cup shredded cheddar cheese
- ¾ cup salsa
- 1 avocado, thinly sliced
- ⅓ cup cherry tomatoes, sliced
- Green onions and cilantro (for garnish)
Instructions
- Start by preheating your oven to 350°F (~175°C). Line a baking sheet with parchment paper and arrange the bacon slices in a single layer on it. Cooking the bacon in the oven not only yields crispy results but also frees up your stovetop for other tasks. Bake the bacon for about 15 minutes or until it’s perfectly crisp. Once cooked, remove from the oven, let it cool slightly, and crumble it into smaller pieces for easy topping on your tacos.
- While the bacon is crisping up in the oven, melt butter in a skillet over medium heat. Once the butter is bubbly, pour in the whisked eggs. It’s critical here to reduce the heat to low to ensure soft and fluffy eggs. Stir gently in a circular motion using a spatula. Continue to cook until the eggs are just set but still bright yellow, as overcooking can lead to dryness. Remove the skillet from the heat to prevent further cooking.
- Don’t forget about your tortillas—while the bacon and eggs are getting ready, it’s time to make them warm and pliable. You can either place them in a dry skillet over medium heat for a few seconds on each side or keep them warm in the oven wrapped in foil alongside the bacon. This step is essential as warm tortillas will hold your ingredients better and enhance the overall eating experience.
- With all your essential components cooked and ready, it’s time to assemble your tacos. Start with a warm tortilla—this will be the base of your delicious creation. Layer on a generous portion of fluffy scrambled eggs, followed by the crumbled bacon for a satisfying crunch. Sprinkle the shredded cheddar cheese over the top, allowing it to melt slightly from the heat of the eggs and bacon. Next, add a spoonful of salsa, finely sliced avocado, and fresh cherry tomatoes. Finally, garnish with chopped green onions and cilantro for a pop of freshness. Serve your tacos immediately while they’re warm for an unforgettable breakfast experience.
Notes
For best results, always use large eggs, as they yield fluffier scrambled eggs.
