Begin by cooking the bacon. Place the 8 slices of bacon in a large skillet over medium heat. Cook until crispy, turning occasionally, for about 10 minutes. Once done, transfer the bacon to a paper towel-lined plate to drain excess grease. Once cooled, crumble the bacon into bite-sized pieces.
While the bacon is cooking, crack 4 large eggs into a bowl. Add 2 tablespoons of milk, 0.25 teaspoon of salt, and 0.25 teaspoon of black pepper. Whisk the mixture until the eggs and milk are well blended and slightly frothy.
In a nonstick skillet, add 1 tablespoon of butter and melt over medium heat. Pour in the egg mixture. Allow the eggs to set for a few moments, then gently stir with a spatula, pulling the eggs from the edges to the center. Continue cooking and stirring until the eggs are fully cooked and fluffy, about 5-7 minutes. Remove from heat.
While the eggs are cooking, warm the gluten-free corn tortillas. You can do this by heating them in a dry skillet over medium heat for about 1 minute on each side or by wrapping them in a damp paper towel and microwaving for about 20 seconds.
Assemble the tacos by evenly distributing the scrambled eggs onto each tortilla. Top with crumbled bacon and sprinkle each with a tablespoon of shredded cheddar cheese.
Add a spoonful of salsa on each taco, and finish with a sprinkle of chopped fresh cilantro for freshness.
Serve immediately and enjoy your gluten-free bacon and egg tacos with your favorite hot sauce or sides.
