BACON AND EGG TACOS



Bacon and Egg Tacos image

This makes a great weekend brunch, all ingredient amounts may be adjusted to taste, I also add in a pinch of cayenne pepper to the eggs, the baking powder will make the eggs very fluffy, you may omit if desired but I suggest to add it in, wrap the tortillas in foil and warm in the oven at 200 degrees F while making the eggs, serve the tortillas with salsa :)

Tips:

  • Using fresh ingredients: Always opt for fresh, high-quality ingredients for the best flavor and texture in your egg salad tacos.
  • Hard-boiled eggs: To achieve the perfect hard-boiled eggs, place them in a single layer in a saucepan and cover them with cold water. Bring the water to a boil, then cover the pan and remove it from the heat. Let the eggs stand in the hot water for 10-12 minutes, depending on how hard you want them. Immediately transfer the eggs to an ice bath to stop the cooking process.
  • Chopping the eggs: For a classic egg salad texture, finely chop the hard-boiled eggs. However, you can also mash them with a fork for a creamier consistency.
  • Mayo and seasonings: Use good quality mayonnaise and add your favorite seasonings to the egg salad. Common additions include mustard, celery salt, onion powder, garlic powder, and paprika. For a tangy twist, try adding a squeeze of lemon juice or a dollop of sour cream.
  • Avocado crema: Avocado crema is an excellent condiment for egg salad tacos. Simply mash an avocado with some lime juice, cilantro, and salt. You can also add a bit of sour cream or yogurt for a creamier texture.
  • Tortillas: Use fresh, high-quality tortillas for the best results. You can use corn or flour tortillas, depending on your preference. If you're using corn tortillas, be sure to warm them up before serving to make them more pliable.

Conclusion:

Egg salad tacos are a delicious and versatile dish that can be enjoyed for breakfast, lunch, or dinner. With a few simple ingredients and some creativity, you can create a taco that is sure to please everyone at the table. Experiment with different toppings and fillings to find your favorite combination. Whether you prefer a classic egg salad taco or something more adventurous, these tacos are sure to be a hit.
