Breakfast Tacos

5 servings · 10 min prep · 20 min cook

Ingredients

For the tacos

• 8 eggs
• 8-10 small flour tortillas
• 6-8 slices bacon
• 1 cup cheese (Jack)
• 1/4 small onion
• 1 jalapeno (or serrano)
• 1/4 teaspoon salt
• freshly cracked black pepper
• olive oil
• butter (optional)
• cilantro (optional)

For the Salsa Verde

• 4-5 tomatillos
• 1/2 small onion
• 1 garlic clove
• 1 jalapeno (or serrano)
• 10-12 sprigs cilantro

Steps

1. Start by husking and rinsing the 4-5 tomatillos and de-stem them. Add the tomatillos to a baking sheet along with 6-8 slices bacon and cook everything in the oven at 350°F. The bacon will need around 20 minutes to fully cook, keeping an eye on it as it gets close.

2. Once cooked set the 6-8 slices bacon aside on a plate lined with paper towels to drain. Once drained you can optionally chop up the bacon into smaller bits for the tacos.
3. Add the roasted 4-5 tomatillos to a blender along with the remaining Salsa Verde ingredients: ½ small onion, 1 rinsed and de-stemmed 1 jalapeno, 1 peeled garlic clove, 10-12 sprigs rinsed cilantro. Twist off and discard the bottom, thicker part of the cilantro stems but use the upper stems that hold the leaves together. Taste test and adjust jalapeno quantity as desired for heat level.
4. Finely dice ~½ small onion and 1 jalapeno and add them to a skillet along with a glug of oil and a knob of butter (optional). As that cooks, crack and whisk 8 eggs in a mixing bowl. Once the onion has softened add the eggs to the skillet along with ¼ teaspoon salt and some freshly cracked black pepper. Use medium heat to cook the onion and jalapeno, then lower the heat to cook the eggs.
5. Stir the 8 eggs regularly until fully cooked and then set them aside in a bowl.

6. If possible, try to warm up the tortillas a few at a time in a dry skillet over medium heat. Add 1 cup cheese to them while they're in the skillet. Cook until there are light brown spots forming on the underside of the tortillas.
7. Once the tortillas are warm, load them up with the egg mixture, 6-8 slices bacon, Salsa Verde, and freshly chopped 10-12 cilantro (optional). Serve immediately.
8. For bigger groups, put all the fixings in separate bowls on the table so that friends and family can build their tacos to their liking. Enjoy!
