Ingredients

• 4 pieces vegetarian bacon strips
• 4 units large eggs
• 2 tablespoons whole milk
• 0.5 teaspoons salt
• 0.25 teaspoons black pepper
• 1 tablespoon olive oil
• 0.5 units small red bell pepper
• 0.5 units small onion
• 1 unit small tomato
• 8 units corn tortillas
• 0.25 cup cilantro (optional, for garnish)

Directions

Step 1

Heat a non-stick skillet over medium heat. Add the vegetarian bacon strips and cook according to package instructions until crispy. Remove from the skillet and place on a paper towel-lined plate to drain any excess oil.

Step 2

In a medium bowl, whisk together the eggs, milk, salt, and black pepper until well combined.

Step 3

Chop the red bell pepper and onion into small dice.

Step 4

In the same skillet, heat olive oil over medium heat. Add the diced red bell pepper and onion. Sauté for about 5 minutes, or until the vegetables are softened.

Step 5

Add the egg mixture to the skillet with the vegetables. Cook, gently stirring with a spatula, until the eggs are just set and fluffy. This should take about 5-7 minutes.

Step 6

While the eggs are cooking, chop the tomato and slice the cooked vegetarian bacon into small pieces.

Step 7

Warm the corn tortillas either in a separate skillet over medium heat for a few seconds on each side or in the microwave for about 20 seconds, until soft and pliable.

Step 8

Assemble the tacos by placing a portion of the scrambled eggs and vegetables onto each tortilla. Top with diced tomato, sliced vegetarian bacon, and garnish with cilantro if desired.

Step 9

Serve the tacos immediately while they are warm.
