Cook the Bacon
Begin by cooking the diced bacon in a nonstick skillet over medium-low heat until browned.

Once the bacon is cooked, make the scrambled eggs. Begin by whisking the ingredients for the eggs in a medium mixing bowl.
Then, add the eggs to the bacon grease in the pan and turn the heat on to low.
Cook the eggs, stirring often until the eggs are scrambled. (low and slow is the best way to cook scrambled eggs). Be careful not to over-cook.
Assemble the Breakfast Tacos
Once the bacon and eggs are cooked, it’s time to assemble the tacos. Begin by putting the eggs and bacon onto the tortillas.
Then, add the cheese and your favorite toppings.
Serve
Serve the breakfast tacos warm with your favorite Mexican recipes for a nutritious and hearty breakfast or dinner!
Store
I suggest storing any leftover eggs and crumbled bacon in an airtight container in the refrigerator. Then you can reheat it and make fresh tacos to enjoy when you want to!
