Ingredients

  • 1 egg
  • 1 pat butter
  • salt & pepper for the scrambled eggs
  • 1 tsp olive oil
  • 2 tortillas (fajita size)
  • 2-3 slices of bacon (cooked)
  • ½ cup of shredded cheese (we used Monterey Jack, but almost any cheese would work)

Optional:

  • hot sauce
  • seasoning blend for the eggs
  • salsa

Instructions

  • Begin by scrambling your egg. I like to use 1 tablespoon of milk for each egg and whisk until just combined (you can also use water in place of the milk). Heat a pat of butter in a small skillet over medium heat, then pour in the egg mixture. Let set for about 20 seconds, then use a spatula to swirl the contents around. Let cook another 30-40 seconds, occasionally stirring with spatula, until egg is completely cooked through. Season with a bit of salt and pepper or mix it up with a seasoning blend.
  • Heat a medium sized skillet over medium heat and drizzle with olive oil. Drag each side of the tortilla through the oil and heat on each side for about 15 seconds. Lay the tortillas flat in the pan and cover one half of each with a couple tablespoons of cheese. Divide scrambled egg between the 2 tortillas. Top each with a slice of bacon and sprinkle remaining cheese over the bacon.
  • Fold the empty half of the tortilla over the toppings and cook for about 10-20 seconds or until nicely browned. Flip each tortilla to cook the other side for about 20 seconds. Let cool for a minute. Enjoy plain or serve with hot sauce or salsa!
