Equipment

  • 1 medium pan

Ingredients

  • 6 pieces bacon
  • 3 red potato diced 
  • 1 shallot minced
  • 1/4 teaspoon kosher salt
  • 1/4 teaspoon red pepper flakes
  • 2 garlic clove minced
  • 4 large eggs for frying
  • Tortillas (flour or corn)
  • 2 ounces cotija cheese or queso blanco crumbled, as topping 
  • 1 avocado sliced, as topping
  • 2 radishes thinly sliced, as topping
  • Hot sauce as topping
  • Cilantro leaves as topping

Instructions

To Fry the Bacon:

  • In a medium skillet, set over medium heat, lay the pieces of bacon side by side. Cook on each side for about 3 to 5 minutes, and then flip when the bacon is golden brown. Remove and transfer to a bed of paper towels to drain. When cool enough to handle, dice up the bacon. 

To Make the Breakfast Potatoes Filling:

  • Turn the heat down to medium low and then add the diced potatoes. Cook, stirring regularly, until mostly tender, about 5 minutes. Mix in the shallot, salt and chipotle red pepper flakes. Cook for an additional minute or two. Lastly mix in the garlic clove and cook for 2 to 3 minutes more, until the potato is tender. Lastly, mix in the diced bacon. Cover the pan and set aside while you fry up the eggs.

To Fry up The Eggs:

  • In a small skillet, fry up a few eggs. I like to fry mine up in a few tablespoons of olive oil so the bottom gets crispy. Do as you please! Also, scrambled eggs would also be amazing.

To Assemble the Breakfast Tacos:

  • Add a hefty spoonful of potato mixture to each tortilla. Top each one with a fried egg, sprinkling of cotija cheese, a few slices of avocado, radishes, dash of hot sauce and a few cilantro leaves.
