Ingredients

• 4 small flour or corn tortillas
• 4 large eggs
• 2 tbsp milk (optional, for creamier eggs)
• 1/2 tsp salt
• 1/4 tsp black pepper
• 1 tbsp butter or oil
• 1/2 cup cooked bacon, sausage, or chorizo (optional)
• 1/2 cup shredded cheese (cheddar, Monterey Jack, or your choice)
• 1/2 cup diced vegetables (e.g., bell peppers, onions, tomatoes)
• 1/2 avocado, sliced (optional)
• Fresh cilantro, for garnish
• Salsa or hot sauce, for serving

Equipment

• Non-stick skillet
• Mixing bowl
• Spatula
• Knife and cutting board

Instructions

1. Scramble the Eggs:
In a mixing bowl, whisk together the eggs, milk (if using), salt, and pepper. Heat a non-stick skillet over medium heat and melt the butter. Pour in the egg mixture and gently scramble until soft and fluffy. Remove from heat.

2. Warm the Tortillas:
Warm the tortillas in a dry skillet over medium heat for about 30 seconds per side, or wrap them in a damp paper towel and microwave for 20-30 seconds.

3. Assemble the Tacos:

• Place a portion of scrambled eggs on each tortilla.
• Add your choice of cooked bacon, sausage, or chorizo.
• Sprinkle with shredded cheese and top with diced vegetables and avocado slices.

4. Garnish and Serve:
Garnish with fresh cilantro and serve with salsa or hot sauce on the side.

Tips

• Protein Options: You can easily swap the bacon for turkey sausage, ham, or black beans for a vegetarian option.
• Add Spice: For extra heat, add jalapeños or sprinkle chili flakes on top.
• Make-Ahead: Prepare the scrambled eggs and fillings the night before and reheat in the morning for an even quicker breakfast.
