Ingredients

Scale

Protein & Eggs

4 strips bacon
4 whole large eggs

Vegetables & Toppings

1 cup finely diced potatoes (or frozen hash browns)
Salsa, to taste
Avocado, sliced, to taste
Sliced Jalapeno, to taste
Sour Cream, to taste

Cheese & Tortillas

Cheddar Cheese, shredded, to taste
4 tortillas (warmed)

Other

1 Tablespoon olive oil

Instructions

Cook Bacon: Place bacon strips in a large skillet over medium heat. Cook for 10-12 minutes, stirring frequently, until the bacon is browned and crispy. Remove the bacon from the pan, drain the grease, and cut into small pieces. Set aside.
Prepare Hash Browns: In the same or a clean large skillet, heat 1 tablespoon of olive oil over medium heat. Add the diced potatoes or frozen hash browns. Cook for about 10 minutes, stirring frequently, until the potatoes are crispy and golden brown. Drain excess oil and set aside.
Prep Toppings: While the bacon and hash browns cook, prepare your toppings by shredding the cheddar cheese, slicing the jalapeno and avocado, and setting out salsa and sour cream.
Beat Eggs: Crack the eggs into a large bowl and beat them thoroughly until the mixture is smooth and uniform in color.
Scramble Eggs: Heat a large skillet over medium-high heat and add a small amount of reserved bacon grease to the pan for flavor. Pour in the beaten eggs and cook for a few minutes, stirring frequently with a spatula, until the eggs are softly set but not runny.
Assemble Tacos: Warm the tortillas. On each tortilla, layer a scoop of crispy hash browns, a portion of scrambled eggs, and some crispy bacon pieces. Top with shredded cheddar cheese, salsa, avocado slices, jalapeno slices, and sour cream as desired. Serve immediately while warm.

Notes

For a spicier kick, add extra sliced jalapenos or hot sauce.
You can substitute bacon with sausage or a vegetarian protein if preferred.
Warm tortillas in a dry skillet or microwave to make them more pliable for folding.
Use frozen hash browns for convenience, just ensure they are thawed slightly for even cooking.
Leftover bacon grease adds great flavor to the scrambled eggs, but you can use butter or oil instead.
