Ingredients
  

6 small corn tortillas

4 slices of bacon, chopped

4 large eggs

1/4 cup shredded cheddar cheese

1/4 cup diced tomatoes

1/4 cup diced avocado

2 tablespoons chopped fresh cilantro

1 tablespoon olive oil

Salt and pepper to taste

Lime wedges, for serving

Instructions
 

Cook the Bacon: In a medium skillet, heat the chopped bacon over medium heat. Sauté until the bacon pieces turn crispy and golden brown, approximately 5-7 minutes. Once cooked, transfer the bacon onto a plate lined with paper towels to absorb any excess fat. Keep about 1 tablespoon of the bacon grease in the skillet to enhance the flavor of the eggs.

    Scramble the Eggs: Lower the heat to medium-low in the same skillet. Crack the large eggs into a mixing bowl, season with salt and pepper, and whisk until the mixture is smooth and well combined. Add the olive oil to the skillet, then pour in the whisked eggs. Gently stir the eggs using a spatula until they begin to set but remain slightly creamy, which should take about 3-5 minutes. Once done, remove the skillet from heat and carefully fold in the crispy bacon and shredded cheddar cheese until they are evenly distributed.

      Warm the Tortillas: In a separate dry skillet, warm the corn tortillas over medium heat. Cook each tortilla for approximately 30 seconds on each side, or until they become pliable and slightly toasted.

        Assemble the Tacos: Take each warmed tortilla and add a generous spoonful of the bacon and egg mixture to the center. Top each with diced tomatoes, avocado, and a sprinkle of chopped cilantro for added freshness and flavor.

          Serve: Finish by squeezing fresh lime juice over the tacos for an extra zing. Serve immediately alongside additional lime wedges for easy access.
