- 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

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 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.
