Simple Scrambled Egg and Bacon Tacos

Usually on the weekends I am looking for meals that don’t take a lot of effort to make. One of my weekend days is designated lazy leftover day. Lazy leftover days usually involve reheating pizza from Friday or some other meals that I have cooked throughout the week. There are some days when I don’t have any leftovers to reheat. These days I look for a super easy low effort recipe to make. This is how this recipe for simple scrambled eggs and bacon tacos was created.

Recipe for simple scrambled eggs and bacon tacos

When I started to put this recipe for simple scrambled bacon tacos together, I wasn’t sure I was going to post it. However, the recipe was so simple and savory tasting I had to. The bacon provides that crisp and savory component to the tacos. While the scrambled eggs are unctuous and filling. The cheese adds extra creaminess to the egg mixture. The salsa further brightens the flavor of the dish and balances the richness of the eggs and cheese.  My favorite salsa recipe can be found at Imitation Jack’s Salsa – Traveling Garden Lady.  These simple scrambled eggs and bacon tacos are the perfect balance of umami goodness.

Soft Scrambled Eggs

The key to making the eggs super soft and creamy is in the scrambling of the eggs. While I call it scrambled eggs are essentially folded while cooking. There is not a vigorous scrambling of the eggs. The process is allowing the eggs to cook a little in the whites and soft folding the eggs while cooking. This is done over a medium low heat to avoid the eggs from cooking too quickly and browning. The perfect soft scrambled egg is still a little wet and never turns brown. The yolks of the egg will naturally break open on their own while the folding occurs.
