Heat a non-stick skillet over medium-high heat. Add turkey bacon slices and cook until crispy, about 3-4 minutes per side. Remove from skillet and set aside on a paper towel-lined plate to drain excess oil.
In the same skillet, lower the heat to medium and add olive oil. Add diced red bell pepper and sauté for 3 minutes until softened.
Add fresh spinach to the skillet and cook for an additional 2 minutes, or until wilted.
Pour egg whites into the skillet with the vegetables and scramble gently. Season with salt and black pepper. Cook for about 4-5 minutes, stirring occasionally, until the egg whites are fully set.
Warm the whole wheat tortillas in another clean, dry skillet over medium heat for about 30 seconds on each side, or until pliable and slightly browned.
To assemble the tacos, place a portion of the egg and vegetable scramble onto each tortilla. Top with crispy turkey bacon, avocado slices, and a spoonful of salsa.
Fold the tortillas over the filling and serve immediately.
