Ingredients
- 4 large Eggs
- 6 slices Thick-cut bacon
- 2 tablespoons Coconut oil
- 2 tablespoons Nutritional yeast
- 1 large Avocado
- 6 leaves Romaine lettuce leaves
- 0.5 teaspoon Salt
- 0.25 teaspoon Black pepper
- 2 tablespoons Chopped fresh chives
Directions
Step 1
Begin by slicing the thick-cut bacon into bite-sized pieces.
Step 2
In a large skillet over medium-high heat, cook the bacon pieces until they are crispy, about 7-8 minutes. Once cooked, remove the bacon from the skillet and place onto a paper towel-lined plate to remove excess grease.
Step 3
Drain the excess bacon fat from the skillet, leaving about 1 tablespoon in the pan for added flavor.
Step 4
In a separate bowl, crack the eggs and whisk them well. Add salt and black pepper to taste.
Step 5
Return the skillet to the stove over medium heat and add in the coconut oil. Allow it to melt completely and coat the skillet.
Step 6
Pour the whisked eggs into the skillet. Allow the eggs to cook without stirring for about 30 seconds to set.
Step 7
Gently stir the eggs using a spatula, continuing to cook them until they reach your desired consistency, typically 2-3 minutes for soft, scrambled eggs.
Step 8
Add 2 tablespoons of nutritional yeast to the scrambled eggs, stirring until well combined. This will give the eggs a cheesy flavor while keeping it paleo-friendly.
Step 9
Remove the skillet from heat and fold in the crispy bacon pieces.
Step 10
Peel and slice the avocado into thin slices.
Step 11
To assemble the tacos, lay out the romaine lettuce leaves as your taco shells. Spoon an equal amount of the bacon and egg mixture onto each leaf.
Step 12
Top each taco with slices of avocado and a sprinkle of fresh chives.
Step 13
Serve immediately and enjoy your nutritious and delicious paleo breakfast tacos!
