Ingredients
- 4 slices sugar-free bacon
- 4 large eggs
- 2 tablespoons nutritional yeast
- 1 tablespoon extra virgin olive oil
- 4 large iceberg lettuce leaves
- 1 ripe avocado
- 4 tablespoons fresh salsa
- 0.5 teaspoon salt
- 0.25 teaspoon black pepper
Directions
Step 1
Preheat a skillet over medium heat and cook the bacon slices until crisp, about 6-8 minutes. Transfer the cooked bacon to a paper towel-lined plate to drain excess fat.
Step 2
In a medium bowl, whisk the eggs with salt and pepper.
Step 3
Heat olive oil in a non-stick skillet over medium-low heat. Add the whisked eggs and gently stir with a spatula, cooking until just set, about 3 minutes.
Step 4
Stir in the nutritional yeast until combined with the scrambled eggs for a cheesy flavor.
Step 5
Halve and pit the avocado, then scoop out the flesh and mash it with a fork in a small bowl.
Step 6
Prepare the lettuce leaves by carefully rinsing and patting them dry, ensuring they're intact to function as taco shells.
Step 7
To assemble each taco, place a lettuce leaf on a plate. Add an equal portion of scrambled eggs, topped with a slice of bacon, a dollop of mashed avocado, and a tablespoon of salsa.
Step 8
Fold the lettuce leaf around the filling like a taco shell. Serve immediately and enjoy your Whole30 Bacon Egg and Cheese Tacos!
