Ingredients

(Tip: You can find the complete list of ingredients and their measurements in the recipe card below.)

• 2 flour tortillas (small, taco-sized)
• 2 large eggs
• 2 strips bacon
• 1 ripe avocado
• 1 tablespoon lime juice
• Salt and pepper to taste
• 2 tablespoons chopped red onion

4. Warm the tortillas in a dry pan or in the microwave until soft and pliable.
5. Spread mashed avocado over each tortilla.
6. Top each with a sunny-side-up egg, one strip of bacon (broken in half or crumbled), chopped red onion, and fresh cilantro leaves.
7. Serve immediately with optional lime wedges on the side.

Servings and timing

This recipe serves 1–2 people, depending on appetite. It takes approximately 15–20 minutes to prepare and cook.

Variations

• Vegetarian version: Omit bacon and add sautéed mushrooms or black beans.
• Spicy twist: Add sliced jalapeños or a drizzle of hot sauce.
• Cheesy option: Sprinkle shredded cheddar or crumbled feta over the top.
• Tortilla swap: Use corn tortillas or whole wheat alternatives for dietary preferences.
• Greens boost: Add arugula or baby spinach under the egg for extra nutrients.

Storage/reheating

These tacos are best enjoyed fresh, but you can store components separately:

• Bacon can be stored in an airtight container in the refrigerator for up to 3 days. Reheat in a skillet or oven for crispiness.
• Avocado mash should be stored with a layer of plastic wrap touching the surface to prevent browning, for up to 1 day.
• Eggs do not reheat well sunny-side-up, so it’s best to cook them fresh when ready to eat.
• Tortillas can be stored in the fridge and reheated in a skillet or microwave.
