The combination of crispy bacon, tender machaca, and creamy scrambled eggs with melted cheddar cheese creates a rich, hearty flavor profile perfect for a carnivore diet. Each component brings something unique—the bacon adds crunch, the machaca offers a savory depth, and the eggs provide a soft, creamy balance. With the cheese melting into each layer, these breakfast tacos give you all the satisfaction of a traditional taco without any carbs, making it a wholesome, filling, and delicious way to start the day.
Ingredients:
- 6 slices of bacon
- 1–2 tablespoons bacon fat (from cooked bacon)
- ½ cup People’s Choice Machaca (or any dried, shredded beef)
- 4 large eggs
- Salt, to taste
- ½ cup shredded cheddar cheese
Instructions:
- Prepare the Bacon:
- Start by frying the bacon in a large skillet over medium heat until it reaches your desired crispness, about 5-7 minutes. Remove the bacon and place it on a plate lined with paper towels to drain.
- Carefully reserve about 1–2 tablespoons of the bacon fat in the skillet; this will be used to cook the eggs and machaca, adding depth of flavor to the tacos.
- Cook the Machaca:
- With the bacon fat still in the skillet, add the People’s Choice Machaca. Sauté for 2-3 minutes until it’s heated through and slightly crispy. This will release more of its savory flavors, creating a satisfying base for the breakfast tacos. Once ready, transfer it to a plate and set aside.
- Scramble the Eggs:
- Crack the eggs into a bowl, add a pinch of salt, and whisk until well-combined. Pour the eggs into the same skillet, keeping it at medium heat. Stir the eggs continuously to create soft, creamy curds. For a richer flavor, cook the eggs slowly until they reach a fluffy consistency, then remove from heat.
- Assemble the Tacos:
- Place two bacon slices in each taco as a “shell” base, and then spoon a portion of scrambled eggs onto each slice. Next, add a layer of machaca, distributing it evenly across the tacos.
- Sprinkle the shredded cheddar cheese on top of each taco. The heat from the eggs and machaca will start to melt the cheese, adding a creamy texture.
- Serve:
- Arrange the tacos on a plate and serve them immediately. Optionally, you can garnish with a sprinkle of additional shredded cheese or a dash of salt to enhance the flavor.
