- Can I make this ahead?
- You can prep the ingredients (cooked bacon, cut veggies), but eggs and tortillas are best made fresh.
- What cheese should I use?
- Cheddar, Monterey Jack, or any good melting cheese works perfectly.

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.
