Ingredients
- 1 1/2 Tbsp vegetable oil
- 8 (6-inch) corn tortillas
- 8 slices bacon, drippings reserved
- 8 large eggs
- 1 (4 oz) can green chilies, mild
- 3/4 tsp sea salt
- 1 1/4 cup shredded cheddar cheese
- 1/4 cup chopped cilantro, optional
- 1 Avocado, sliced
- 1/3 cup pico de gallo
- 1 lime, cut into wedges
- hot sauce, optional
Method
- In a medium nonstick skillet set over medium-high, heat 1 teaspoon of the oil until glistening. One at a time, cook the tortillas on both sides until lightly toasted, about 30 seconds on each side, adding a little extra oil when needed. Transfer them to a plate and cover with a towel to keep warm.
- Reduce the heat to medium and cook the bacon until crispy. Remove the skillet from the heat. Using tongs, transfer the bacon to a paper towel lined plate. Pour the bacon grease into a heat proof container. Carefully wipe out the skillet or grab another medium skillet.
- While the bacon is cooking, in a medium bowl beat the eggs with the green chilis (use as much or as little as you’d like) and the ¾ teaspoon salt until fully incorporated.
- Heat 1-2 tablespoons of the bacon drippings in the skillet over medium heat. Pour in the eggs and cook, moving them around occasionally with a wooden spoon until mostly cooked through but still slightly wet.
- Sprinkle the eggs with the shredded cheese and continue to cook until the cheese is melted and the eggs set.
- Divide the eggs among the warm tortillas. Top each taco with bacon, cilantro, avocado slices, pico de gallo, a squeeze of lime juice and your favorite hot sauce if desired.
