Begin by preparing the ingredients: dice the green bell pepper, red onion, and tomato into small pieces. Chop the cilantro and set aside.
Peel and slice the avocado into thin strips and set aside for topping.
In a medium skillet over medium heat, cook the low sodium bacon slices until crispy, about 5-7 minutes. Once done, transfer them to a plate lined with paper towels to drain excess fat.
In a bowl, crack the eggs and add the skim milk and black pepper. Whisk together until well combined.
In a separate skillet, heat 1 tablespoon of olive oil over medium heat. Add the diced bell pepper and red onion. Cook for about 3-4 minutes until they are softened.
Pour the egg mixture into the skillet with the vegetables. Gently stir the eggs as they cook until they reach your desired doneness, about 3-5 minutes.
Meanwhile, warm the corn tortillas by placing them in a dry skillet over medium heat for about 30 seconds on each side or until they are pliable.
Assemble the tacos by layering scrambled eggs onto the corn tortillas. Break the bacon into pieces and add on top of the eggs.
Add diced tomatoes, fresh cilantro, and avocado slices to each taco.
Serve the tacos warm, optionally garnished with fresh cilantro leaves.
