🥘 Ingredients

10 items

• 4 pieces Large eggs
• 4 slices Thick-cut bacon
• 1 cup Shredded cheddar cheese
• 4 pieces Small flour tortillas
• 2 tablespoons Milk
• 1 tablespoon Butter
• 0.5 teaspoon Salt
• 0.25 teaspoon Black pepper
• 2 tablespoons Chopped fresh chives (optional)
• 1 teaspoon Hot sauce (optional)

📝 Instructions

8 steps

1. 1. In a medium-sized skillet, cook the bacon slices over medium heat until they are crispy. This will take about 7-9 minutes. Once cooked, transfer the bacon to a plate lined with paper towels to drain excess grease.

2. 2. While the bacon is cooking, crack the eggs into a mixing bowl. Add milk, salt, and black pepper. Whisk together until the mixture is well combined and slightly frothy.

3. 3. Once the bacon is removed, wipe the skillet clean and place it back on medium heat. Add the butter and allow it to melt, swirling it around to coat the pan.

4. 4. Pour the egg mixture into the skillet and let it cook, gently stirring with a spatula, until the eggs are scrambled and just set, about 3-4 minutes.

5. 5. Place the tortillas on a large plate and microwave them for 20-30 seconds to warm them up.

6. 6. To assemble the tacos, lay each tortilla flat and divide the scrambled eggs equally among them. Crumble one slice of cooked bacon on top of the eggs for each taco.

7. 7. Sprinkle shredded cheddar cheese over the bacon and eggs. If desired, add chopped fresh chives and a dash of hot sauce.

8. 8. Fold the tortillas over the filling to create tacos, and serve immediately while warm.
