How To Make breakfast essentials: egg, bacon, cheese tacos
-
1PREP/PREPARE -
2Gather your ingredients (mise en place).
-
3Place a rack in the middle position, and preheat the oven to 350f (175c).
-
4Drape the taco over the wire rack, and shape until the edges are pointing down. Cook until the tortilla begins to crisp, and holds its form. Remove from the oven, and reserve.
-
5Place a skillet over medium heat, and add the diced bacon.
-
6Cook to your desired crispness, then remove from pan, and drain on paper towels.
-
7Remove all but a teaspoon of grease from the pan, and add the whisked eggs.
-
8Scramble until almost cooked, then remove from the heat, add the bacon and combine.
-
9Chef’s Note: Season with a bit of salt and pepper, if using.

10THE ASSEMBLY
-
11Add the salsa to the bottom of the taco. Stuff with the egg/bacon mixture. Top with the cheese. If you want the cheese melty (up to you), stick it under a broiler for about 20 seconds.

12PLATE/PRESENT

13I like to serve it with some sliced tomatoes, sprinkled with a bit of salt and pepper; however, that is totally up to you. Enjoy.
