Recipe Information
Ingredients
- 4 pieces Vegetarian bacon strips
- 4 units Large eggs
- 2 tablespoons Milk
- 0.5 teaspoon Salt
- 0.25 teaspoon Black pepper
- 2 tablespoons Butter
- 1 cup Cheddar cheese, shredded
- 4 units Soft taco-sized flour tortillas
- 0.5 cup Salsa (optional)
- 2 tablespoons Chopped fresh cilantro (optional)
Instructions
Heat a large non-stick skillet over medium heat and add the vegetarian bacon strips.
Cook the bacon for about 2-3 minutes on each side until crispy and fully heated, then remove from the skillet and set aside.
In a medium bowl, whisk together the eggs, milk, salt, and black pepper until fully combined.
In the same skillet, melt the butter over medium-low heat.
Pour the egg mixture into the skillet and let it sit for a few seconds until they begin to set around the edges.
Using a spatula, gently scramble the eggs, pushing them from one side of the skillet to the other until fully cooked through, approximately 5-7 minutes.
While the eggs are cooking, warm the tortillas either in a dry skillet over medium heat or directly over a stove burner for a few seconds each side, until warm and pliable.
Assemble the tacos by placing equal portions of scrambled eggs onto each tortilla.
Top each taco with a slice of vegetarian bacon, a generous sprinkle of cheddar cheese, and any additional toppings like salsa or cilantro if desired.
Fold the tortillas to enclose the fillings and serve warm.
