Recipe Card

ingredients

  • 4 slices of bacon
  • 2 tablespoons unsalted butter, divded
  • 6 large eggs
  • Kosher salt, to taste
  • Freshly ground black pepper, to taste
  • Red pepper flakes, to taste
  • Freshly shredded cheddar cheese (about 1/2 cup)
  • 2 flour tortillas (or corn tortillas)
  • Salsa, for topping
  • Avocado (seasoned with salt and pepper), for topping

Cook the Bacon

Method

  • Step 1

    Heat a cast iron skillet over your campfire (or use a portable camp stove).

  • Step 2

    Add the bacon and cook until crispy, about 4-5 minutes on each side depending on the heat.

  • Step 3

    Place the bacon on a paper towel-lined plate and set aside.

Prepare the Eggs

  • Step 1

    Set up your portable camp stove.

  • Step 2

    Crack the eggs into a bowl, whisk, and set aside.

  • Step 3

    Using the same skillet used to cook the bacon (or another pan), melt 1 tablespoon of butter over medium/low heat. (You can also use bacon grease to cook the eggs instead of butter.)

  • Step 4

    Once melted, pour in the eggs and begin to scramble. Cooking low and slow is best to avoid overcooking the eggs.

  • Step 5

    Season with salt, black pepper, and red pepper flakes. Stir occasionally.

  • Step 6

    When the eggs are almost done, add in the shredded cheddar cheese and stir to melt.

  • Step 7

    Remove your eggs from the pan, cover with foil, and set aside.

Toast the Tortillas

  • Step 1

    In the same pan, melt 1/2 tablespoon of butter. Toast the tortillas on both sides until lightly browned.

  • Step 2

    Repeat with the remaining butter and second tortilla.

Assemble the Tacos

  • Step 1

    On each tortilla, layer the scrambled eggs, crispy bacon, salsa, and seasoned avocado slices.

  • Step 2

    Feel free to customize with your favorite toppings, such as hot sauce, sour cream, or fresh cilantro. Serve and enjoy!
