Ingredients
- 8 small flour tortillas (288g)
- ½ pound sliced bacon (250g)
- 2 cups peeled and diced potato (310g)
- 8 large eggs
- ¼ teaspoon salt
- 2 tablespoons unsalted butter
Optional topping:
- shredded Mexican cheese blend
- Diced avocado
- Pico de Gallo
- chopped cilantro
- hot sauce
Instructions
- In a large skillet over medium heat, warm the tortillas, a couple at a time. Cover with a towel to keep warm.
- In the same skillet, add the bacon and cook until brown and crispy, about 8 minutes. Transfer to a paper towel-lined plate, reserving drippings in the skillet.
- Add the potatoes to the skillet and cook over medium-high heat until golden brown and crispy, about 12 minutes, stirring occasionally. Transfer to a paper towel-lined plate. Remove any drippings from the skillet and wipe it clean with a paper towel.
- Whisk together the eggs and salt in a medium bowl.
- Melt the butter in the same skillet over medium heat. Add the eggs and scramble by stirring with a spatula during cooking. Cook until they are set to your preference, and remove from the heat.
- Fill each tortilla with eggs, crumbled bacon, and potatoes, and serve with your favorite toppings.

Notes
- Wipe the skillet clean before cooking the eggs. Otherwise, the eggs will turn brownish in color from the bacon grease and the potatoes' browning.
- Don't skip warming the tortillas. Warming makes them more pliable, especially corn tortillas, which will tear if not warmed up.
- Warm the tortillas in the oven. To warm up to 8 tortillas at once, stack them and wrap them in aluminum foil. Place in an oven preheated to 350° for about 15 minutes. Alternatively, wrap the tortillas in paper towels and microwave for 30 seconds.
- Serving idea: Serve tacos with a side of Mexican rice, black beans, or fruit salad.
