- 4 small flour or corn tortillas
- 1/2 cup pico de gallo or salsa

Cook the Bacon
In a large skillet over medium heat, cook the bacon until crispy, about 8 minutes. Transfer to a plate lined with paper towels to drain. Once cool, crumble into bite-sized pieces.
Scramble the Eggs
In a mixing bowl, whisk together the eggs, milk, salt, and pepper. Using the same skillet with a little bacon grease left in, cook the eggs over low heat, stirring gently until soft and fluffy. Remove from heat.
Warm the Tortillas
Heat the tortillas in a dry skillet for about 30 seconds on each side, or until warm and pliable.
Assemble the Tacos
Divide the scrambled eggs evenly among the tortillas, then top with shredded cheese, crispy bacon, pico de gallo, avocado slices, and fresh cilantro.
Serve and Enjoy
Add a dash of hot sauce if you like some heat, then dig in!
Pairings
These breakfast tacos go perfectly with a side of crispy hash browns, a fresh fruit salad, or a refreshing glass of orange juice. For a heartier breakfast, pair them with black beans or roasted potatoes.
