**Ingredients:**
– 6 large eggs (300 grams)
– 100 grams shredded cheddar cheese
– 100 grams cooked bacon, chopped
– 6 small flour tortillas (150 grams total)
– 30 grams unsalted butter
– 1 medium ripe avocado (150 grams)
– 100 grams cherry tomatoes, diced
– 50 grams red onion, finely chopped
– 15 ml lime juice
– 10 grams fresh cilantro, chopped
– Salt and pepper to taste
– 15 ml olive oil for frying
**Necessary Tools:**
– Large mixing bowl
– Whisk
– Non-stick skillet
– Spatula
– Large skillet for frying
– Small mixing bowl
**Ingredient Swaps and Additions:**
Feel free to get creative! Swap out bacon for sausage or even vegetables for a vegetarian option. You could also try different types of cheese like pepper jack for a spicy kick. Don’t hesitate to toss in some sautéed bell peppers or spinach into the egg mixture for additional flavor and nutrients!
**Step-by-Step Instructions:**
1. In a large bowl, whisk the eggs, adding a pinch of salt and pepper to taste.
2. Melt the butter in a non-stick skillet over medium heat. Pour in the eggs and gently scramble until just set. Stir in the shredded cheese and remove from the heat.
3. To assemble the taquitos, place an even portion of the bacon and the cheesy scrambled eggs on each tortilla. Roll each one up tightly to keep all the goodness inside.
4. Heat olive oil in a large skillet over medium-high heat. Once hot, place the taquitos seam-side down in the skillet. Cook until they are golden brown and crispy on all sides, about 5-7 minutes.
5. While the taquitos are cooking, prepare the avocado salsa. In a small bowl, combine the diced avocado, cherry tomatoes, red onion, lime juice, cilantro, and a pinch of salt and pepper. Mix gently to keep the avocado intact.
6. Serve the taquitos hot, alongside the refreshing avocado salsa.
**Serving Suggestions:**
These breakfast taquitos are delightful on their own, but you could serve them with a side of fresh fruit or a dollop of sour cream for added richness. Perhaps even a spritz of extra lime juice for that zesty kick!
**Pro Tips for Success:**
– Ensure the skillet is sufficiently preheated before adding the taquitos to achieve a perfect crisp.
– Roll the taquitos tightly to prevent the filling from spilling out during cooking.
– Experiment with different toppings, such as hot sauce or shredded lettuce, to personalize your dish!
**Storing and Reheating:**
If you happen to have leftovers (which is rare!), store them in an airtight container in the fridge for up to 2 days. To reheat, place them in a skillet over medium heat until warmed through and crispy again.
**FAQ Section:**
– Can I make these ahead of time?
Yes! You can prepare the taquitos and freeze them before frying. Just thaw and fry them when you’re ready to enjoy!
– What can I substitute for the tortillas?
Feel free to use corn tortillas or even lettuce wraps for a low-carb version!
