Ingredients
- Taco shells
- Bacon
- Lettuce, shredded
- Tomato, diced
- Eggs
- Avocado (optional)
- Hot sauce (optional)
Instructions
- Preheat a large skillet over medium heat and cook bacon strips until crispy and golden brown, about 3-4 minutes per side. Transfer bacon to a paper towel-lined plate to drain excess grease.
- While bacon is cooking, dice fresh tomatoes into small, uniform cubes and shred crisp lettuce leaves. Set aside.
- In the same skillet with remaining bacon fat, crack eggs and cook sunny-side up or scrambled, depending on preference. Season eggs with a pinch of salt and pepper.
- Warm taco shells in a separate dry skillet or directly over a gas flame for 30 seconds on each side to enhance flavor and create slight crispiness.
- Assemble tacos by first laying down crispy bacon strips as a base, then add scrambled or fried eggs on top.
- Sprinkle shredded lettuce and diced tomatoes over the eggs for fresh crunch and flavor.
- Optional: Slice ripe avocado and add slices to each taco for extra creaminess.
- Finish by drizzling hot sauce over tacos for those who enjoy additional spice.
- Serve immediately while ingredients are warm and taco shells are crisp.
Tips
- Crispy Bacon: For perfectly crispy bacon, ensure your skillet is hot before adding the strips. Don’t rush the cooking process; let them sizzle until golden brown for the best flavor.
- Eggs Your Way: Whether you prefer your eggs sunny-side up or scrambled, cooking them in the bacon fat adds a rich, savory flavor. Just remember to season with salt and pepper for that extra kick!
- Taco Shells: Warming your taco shells enhances their flavor and texture. Try toasting them in a dry skillet or over a gas flame for a few seconds—this makes them slightly crispy and even more delicious.
- Fresh Ingredients: Use ripe, fresh tomatoes and crispy lettuce for the best crunch and flavor. The freshness of these ingredients will elevate your breakfast tacos significantly.
- Customizable Toppings: Feel free to get creative! Add sliced jalapeños for heat, cheese for creaminess, or even a dollop of sour cream to cater to your taste.
- Serving Tip: Serve your tacos immediately after assembling to enjoy them while the ingredients are warm and the taco shells are crispy.
- Hot Sauce Lovers: If you enjoy a kick, don’t hold back on the hot sauce! Drizzle it generously over your tacos for an added layer of flavor.
