Breakfast Tacos with Bacon

Prep Time: 10 minutes
Cook Time: 20 minutes
Cut: Bacon
Servings: 7

Ingredients

  • 8 slices of thick-cut bacon chopped or cooked whole and then chopped
  • 8 eggs
  • 1 Roma tomato diced
  • ¼ of a white onion diced
  • 1 serrano or jalapeño pepper finely chopped
  • 2 tablespoons of cilantro chopped
  • 1 tablespoon of oil or bacon fat
  • 1 teaspoon of kosher salt adjust to taste
  • Black pepper to taste
  • Hot flour tortillas homemade or store-bought
  • Any sauce you like red or green

Instructions

  • Cook the bacon in a skillet over medium heat until crispy and reaches an internal temperature of 145°F. Let rest for 3 minutes.
  • Remove and drain on paper towels.
  • Reserve 1-2 tablespoons of the bacon fat in the pan for the eggs.
  • Heat the reserved bacon fat over medium heat.
  • Add the onion and chili, and sauté for 2-3 minutes until softened. Add the tomato and cook for 1-2 minutes until it releases its juices.
  • Beat the eggs with salt and pepper and pour into the pan.
  • Cook the eggs gently, using folding motions and not stirring aggressively, until they are soft and fluffy. Stir in the cilantro at the end, again using folding motions.
  • Heat the tortillas on a griddle or skillet until soft and slightly blistered. Wrap them in a kitchen towel to keep them warm.
  • Assemble in layers in this order for the best texture: warm flour tortilla, a spoonful of huevos a la mexicana, crispy bacon, and salsa.
