Recipe Information
Ingredients
- 4 pieces vegetarian bacon strips
- 4 units large eggs
- 2 tablespoons whole milk
- 0.5 teaspoons salt
- 0.25 teaspoons black pepper
- 1 tablespoon olive oil
- 0.5 units small red bell pepper
- 0.5 units small onion
- 1 unit small tomato
- 8 units corn tortillas
- 0.25 cup cilantro (optional, for garnish)
Instructions
Heat a non-stick skillet over medium heat. Add the vegetarian bacon strips and cook according to package instructions until crispy. Remove from the skillet and place on a paper towel-lined plate to drain any excess oil.
In a medium bowl, whisk together the eggs, milk, salt, and black pepper until well combined.
Chop the red bell pepper and onion into small dice.
In the same skillet, heat olive oil over medium heat. Add the diced red bell pepper and onion. Sauté for about 5 minutes, or until the vegetables are softened.
Add the egg mixture to the skillet with the vegetables. Cook, gently stirring with a spatula, until the eggs are just set and fluffy. This should take about 5-7 minutes.
While the eggs are cooking, chop the tomato and slice the cooked vegetarian bacon into small pieces.
Warm the corn tortillas either in a separate skillet over medium heat for a few seconds on each side or in the microwave for about 20 seconds, until soft and pliable.
Assemble the tacos by placing a portion of the scrambled eggs and vegetables onto each tortilla. Top with diced tomato, sliced vegetarian bacon, and garnish with cilantro if desired.
Serve the tacos immediately while they are warm.
