Ingredients
- 8 large eggs
- 6 slices bacon or turkey bacon, chopped
- 1 medium yellow onion, finely diced
- 1 red bell pepper, diced
- 1 cup fresh spinach, roughly chopped
- 1 cup shredded cheddar cheese or Mexican blend
- 8 whole wheat or corn tortillas, 6-inch
- 3 tablespoons unsalted butter
- 1/2 teaspoon sea salt
- 1/4 teaspoon black pepper
- 1/4 teaspoon garlic powder
- 1/2 cup fresh cilantro, chopped
- 1 lime, cut into wedges
- 1/2 cup diced avocado
- 1/2 cup salsa or pico de gallo
- 2 tablespoons olive oil
Instructions
- 1
Cook the chopped bacon in a large skillet over medium-high heat, stirring occasionally, until crispy and browned, about 7-8 minutes.
- 2
Transfer the cooked bacon to a paper towel-lined plate and set aside, leaving about 1 tablespoon of bacon fat in the skillet.
- 3
Add the diced yellow onion to the same skillet and sauté over medium-high heat for 3-4 minutes until it becomes translucent and fragrant.
- 4
Stir in the diced red bell pepper and cook for another 2-3 minutes until slightly softened.
- 5
Pour in the roughly chopped spinach and cook for 1-2 minutes, stirring frequently, until the spinach wilts and any excess moisture evaporates.
- 6
Crack all 8 eggs into a medium bowl, add sea salt, black pepper, and garlic powder, then whisk vigorously until well combined and slightly frothy.
- 7
Pour the whisked egg mixture into the skillet with the vegetables and reduce heat to medium.
- 8
Gently scramble the eggs with a spatula, pushing them from the edges toward the center every 30 seconds, cooking for 4-5 minutes until the eggs are just set but still slightly creamy.
- 9
Fold the cooked bacon back into the eggs and remove the skillet from heat.
- 10
Warm the tortillas directly over a gas flame for 10-15 seconds per side, or wrap them in a damp paper towel and microwave for 30 seconds until pliable.
- 11
Assemble each taco by spooning the egg mixture onto a warm tortilla, then top with shredded cheese, diced avocado, salsa, and fresh cilantro.
- 12
Serve the tacos immediately with lime wedges on the side for squeezing over the top.
