📋 Ingredients
- 6 strips bacon

- 4 large eggs, scrambled
- 1 cup shredded cheese (cheddar, Monterey Jack, or a blend)
- 1 tomato, diced
- 1 avocado, sliced

🥑 Ingredient Swaps & Add-Ons

👨🍳 Instructions
- Cook the bacon: In a skillet over medium heat, cook the bacon until crisp. Drain on paper towels.
- Scramble the eggs: In the same skillet, lightly scramble the eggs until fluffy and just set.

- Assemble the tacos: Divide eggs between tortillas. Top with crispy bacon, shredded cheese, diced tomatoes, and sliced avocado.

💡 Tips for Breakfast Taco Success
- Crispy bacon tip: Try the oven method—400°F for 15–20 minutes on a baking sheet—for even crispier, hands-off results.
- Scramble low and slow: For the fluffiest eggs, cook on medium-low heat and remove from heat just before they’re fully set.
