ServesServes: 4
Ingredients
- 8 (6-inch) Corn tortillas
- 1 1/2 tbsp Vegetable oil
- 8 slices Bacon, drippings reserved
- 8 Eggs
- 4 oz can Green chilies
- 3/4 tsp 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 8 half wedges
Instructions
- In a medium nonstick skillet set over medium-high, heat 1 teaspoon of the oil, cook 2 of the corn tortillas on both sides until lightly toasted. Transfer to a plate and repeat with remaining oil and tortillas. Cover with a towel to keep warm. Alternatively you can skip the skillet and oil and toast the tortillas over an open oven flame if you have a gas stove.
- Reduce heat to medium and cook the bacon until crispy. Remove pan from heat. Transfer the bacon to a paper towel lined plate. Pour the bacon grease to a heat proof container, reserve to cook eggs in. Carefully wipe out the skillet used for the bacon.
- In a medium bowl beat the eggs with the green chilis (use as much or as little as you'd like) and salt until fully incorporated.
- Heat 1-2 tablespoon of bacon drippings in the pan over medium heat. Pour in the eggs and cook, moving them around occasionally with a wooden spoon until mostly cooked through.
- Sprinkle 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 cilantro, avocado slices, pico de gallo and a squeeze of lime juice.
