Ingredients

• 4 whole grain tortillas
• 2 tablespoons olive oil
• 4 slices turkey bacon
• 4 large eggs
• 1 cup cherry tomatoes
• 1 cup fresh spinach
• 0.5 cup feta cheese
• 2 tablespoons fresh parsley
• to taste salt
• to taste black pepper

Directions

Step 1

Preheat a non-stick skillet over medium heat and add 1 tablespoon of olive oil.

Step 2

Add turkey bacon slices to the skillet and cook for about 3-4 minutes on each side or until crispy. Remove from skillet and set aside on paper towels to drain any excess oil.

Step 3

In the same skillet, add the remaining tablespoon of olive oil and reduce the heat to low. Crack the eggs into the skillet and sprinkle with salt and black pepper.

Step 4

Cook the eggs until the whites are set but the yolks are still slightly runny, about 3 minutes. If you prefer firmer yolks, cook for an additional 1-2 minutes.

Step 5

While the eggs are cooking, slice the cherry tomatoes in half and chop the fresh spinach and parsley.

Step 6

Warm the whole grain tortillas in a separate dry skillet over medium-low heat for about 30 seconds on each side, or until they are pliable.

Step 7

To assemble the tacos, lay a tortilla flat and place a cooked egg in the center. Add a slice of turkey bacon, a handful of chopped spinach, and a few cherry tomato halves.

Step 8

Sprinkle with crumbled feta cheese and garnish with fresh parsley.

Step 9

Repeat the assembly process for the remaining tortillas.

Step 10

Serve immediately and enjoy your Mediterranean Diet Bacon Egg Tacos with a side of fresh fruit or yogurt for a complete breakfast.
