Ingredients
  

Main ingredients
  • 4 slices bacon, cooked For that perfect crispy texture. I always opt for a thick-cut variety for extra flavor!
  • 4 large eggs Fresh is best! If you can, find farm-fresh eggs for vibrant color and flavor.
  • 4 pieces corn tortillas Look for organic or homemade if available; these lend a wonderful depth.
  • 1/2 cup enchilada sauce or salsa This is where the magic happens! Homemade enchilada sauce always impresses.
  • 2 ripe avocados (sliced) Nothing beats creamy avocado for that satisfying richness.
  • 2 ripe tomatoes (sliced) Fresh, juicy tomatoes brighten up the flavor and add a delightful crunch.

Method
 

Preparation
  1. Preheat your oven to 350°F (175°C). This will warm your tortillas to a soft perfection.
  2. Wrap tortillas in foil and put into the oven for 15 minutes. Warming them up will make them pliable and delicious.
  3. Cook bacon to tender-crisp. I like to cook mine in a skillet over medium heat until perfectly crisp, about 10 minutes. Once done, set aside on paper towels to drain excess grease.
  4. Slice tomatoes and set aside. The fresher, the better!
Cooking
  1. Bring a pot of water to a boil with a tablespoon of vinegar added. This helps the eggs hold their shape when poaching. Reduce heat to just simmering.
  2. Crack each egg into a cup first, then gently lower it into the simmering water. Poach for about 4 minutes for a perfect runny yolk.
  3. While the eggs are cooking, plate the warm tortillas. Spread each with enchilada sauce and sprinkle with the crispy bacon, avocado slices, and tomato.
  4. Once the eggs are done, remove them with a slotted spoon. Carefully place each poached egg on top of the assembled tacos.
  5. Enjoy your delicious creations!

Notes

Quality is key. Always go for fresh ingredients. Leftovers can be stored in airtight containers in the fridge for up to 3 days. You can prep veggies and cook bacon a day earlier for convenience.
