Instructions

1

Prep the 'toppings': dice the tomato, avocado, onion, pepper. Have everything at hand.

Tip: In the morning every minute counts, 'mise en place' (preparation) is a lifesaver.
2

Fry the bacon in a skillet until crispy, then remove to paper towels.

Tip: Start bacon in a cold skillet so more fat renders out and it gets crispier.
3

Pour out most of the grease (leave a little for flavor), and scramble the beaten eggs until soft.

Tip: Remove eggs from heat while still slightly wet – residual heat will finish setting them perfectly.
4

Warm the tortillas, distribute the eggs, sprinkle with cheese (to melt), then top with bacon and fresh veggies.

Tip: Squeeze lime on top at the end, it elevates the flavors.
