Ingredients

• 6 slices Bacon
• 6 large Eggs
• 2 tablespoons Coconut oil
• 6 large leaves Romaine lettuce
• 0.5 cup, halved Cherry tomatoes
• 1 medium, sliced Avocado
• 0.5 teaspoon Salt
• 0.25 teaspoon Black pepper
• 0.25 cup, chopped Fresh cilantro
• 1 cut into wedges Lime

Directions

Step 1

Preheat a large skillet over medium heat. Add the bacon slices and cook until crispy, about 5 to 7 minutes, turning occasionally. Once cooked, transfer the bacon to a paper towel-lined plate to drain excess fat.

Step 2

While the bacon is cooking, prepare the other taco ingredients: halve the cherry tomatoes, slice the avocado, and rinse and pat dry the Romaine lettuce leaves.

Step 3

In a mixing bowl, crack the eggs and whisk them together with salt and black pepper until well combined.

Step 4

Once the bacon is done and the skillet is empty, wipe out any excess bacon grease, leaving approximately one tablespoon in the skillet. If there is not enough bacon grease, add a tablespoon of coconut oil to the skillet.

Step 5

Pour the whisked eggs into the skillet and cook over medium-low heat. Use a spatula to gently stir and scramble the eggs until they are cooked through but still soft and fluffy, about 3 to 5 minutes.

Step 6

To assemble the tacos, lay out the Romaine lettuce leaves on a serving platter. Divide the scrambled eggs among the lettuce leaves.

Step 7

Add two slices of crispy bacon to each lettuce wrap, breaking them in half if needed for easy fitting.

Step 8

Top each taco with halved cherry tomatoes, avocado slices, and a sprinkle of fresh cilantro.

Step 9

Serve immediately with lime wedges on the side to drizzle as desired.
