Easy Breakfast Tacos (Bacon, Egg & Avocado)
Description
This recipe prepares breakfast tacos by baking bacon strips until crispy, then cooking scrambled eggs sautéed with the white parts of green onions for added mild flavor. The eggs are soft and pillowy due to gentle cooking and stirring. The tacos are assembled by layering eggs, crumbled bacon, diced avocado, shredded cheddar cheese, chopped cilantro, and the green parts of the green onion on warmed tortillas.
The contrast of crunchy bacon with creamy avocado and melty cheese creates a satisfying texture profile, while the fresh cilantro and green onion add brightness. The tortilllas serve as a sturdy yet soft vehicle for the fillings, making the tacos easy to handle and eat.
This dish suits breakfast or brunch occasions and can be customized by adjusting seasoning or toppings. Using the oven to cook bacon reduces stovetop mess and produces evenly crispy strips.
Ingredients
- 4 pieces Bacon
- 2 green onions sliced, with green and white parts separated
- 1 tablespoon extra virgin olive oil
- 4 egg large
- ½ cup cheddar cheese shredded
- salt to taste
- black pepper to taste
- ½ avocado small diced
- 2 tablespoons cilantro chopped
- 4 tortillas
Instructions
- Preheat your oven to 400°F (200°C). Place the bacon on a baking tray and bake for 18 to 20 minutes, or until crispy. Let dry on a paper towel.
- Heat the olive oil in a pan on medium heat, add the the white parts of the green onion and saute for 1 minute.
- Whisk together the eggs in a bowl, then pour the beaten eggs in the pan. Use a spatula to move the eggs while they cook, flipping them a few times, until they're soft and pillowy yet cooked through.
- Assemble the breakfast tacos by adding a portion of eggs to a tortilla. Top that with a sprinkle of the green parts of the green onion, several pieces of crumbled bacon, diced avocado, a sprinkle of cheddar cheese, and fresh cilantro. Season with salt and pepper.
Notes
- Using a non-stick pan for the scrambled eggs helps prevent sticking and eases cleanup.
- Preheat the oven to ensure bacon cooks evenly and crisps properly.
