Ingredients
- 6 lices Bacon
- 8 large eggs
- ⅓ cup heavy cream
- Salt and freshly ground black pepper to taste
- 2 tablespoons unsalted butter
- 4 low carb tortillas
- Toppings: shredded cheddar cheese, salsa, cubed avocados, cilantro.
Instructions
- Preheat oven to 400ºF and line a large baking sheet with aluminum foil.
- Lay the bacon slices onto the baking sheet, making sure there's some space between them. If they overlap, they will stick together and won't cook evenly. Bake until crispy, 15-20 minutes.
- Once bacon is halfway done, start preparing the eggs. Whisk the eggs, heavy cream, salt and pepper in a medium bowl.
- Heat the butter in a nonstick skillet, over medium low heat. Add the egg mixture and, using a rubber spatula, gently push the edges toward the center. When large curds start forming, you can switch from pushing to gently folding the mixture over itself.
- Once the eggs look slightly softer than the way you like them, they are done. They will firm up further off the heat.
- Remove bacon from oven and place it on a paper towel lined plate to soak the excess grease. Then, crumble or roughly chop and divide into 4 equal portions (about 1 ½ bacons per person).
- Warm the tortillas on a skillet or in the microwave (wrapped in wet paper towels).
- Divide the egg and bacon among the four tortillas. Then, top with cheese, salsa, avocado and cilantro, if desired.
- Serve immediately!

Notes
- My favorite way of cooking bacon is in the oven. Lining a baking sheet with foil makes cleaning easier. Just make sure the slices of bacon don't overlap, or they will stick together and won't cook evenly.
- Read the blog post for my tips for the best scrambled eggs. Cooking low and slow is the way to go!
- I prefer breakfast tacos freshly made. However, if you don't mind day old eggs, you could prep all the fillings separately and refrigerate for up to 4 days.
- Freezing and thawing eggs will affect its texture. If you're okay with that, you can freeze all the toppings separately and then thaw, assemble and reheat the tacos as needed.
- When ready to serve the tacos, you can assemble the tacos with the eggs and bacon, wrap them individually in foil and heat in a 400 degrees F oven for 10 minutes. Then, open the foil pouches and continue heating for another 3 to 5 minutes.
- Once the tacos are hot, you can top with the cheese, salsa, avocado and cilantro.
