Memphis-Style Bacon & Egg Breakfast Tacos

Ingredients:

• 6 strips of bacon
• 4 eggs
• 2 medium potatoes (diced)
• 1 tsp Pop Smoke Memphis-Style BBQ rub
• ½ tsp Ground Pounder Garlic seasoning
• 4 small tortillas
• Salt and pepper to taste
• Optional toppings: shredded cheese, salsa, avocado, or cilantro

Instructions:

1. Cook the bacon:

• In a large cast iron skillet, cook bacon over medium heat until crispy. Remove bacon and set aside, leaving the grease in the pan. Once cooled, chop the bacon into small pieces. 

2. Cook the potatoes:

• Add diced potatoes to the hot bacon grease. Season with Memphis-style BBQ rub, and cook for 10-12 minutes until crispy and golden, stirring occasionally.

• Once cooked, remove potatoes and set aside.

3. Scramble the eggs:

• In the same pan, using a little of the remaining bacon grease, crack the eggs and scramble over medium heat. Season with garlic seasoning, salt, and pepper to taste. Cook until eggs are fluffy.

4. Assemble the tacos:

• Warm tortillas on a dry skillet or directly over the grill for a charred flavor.
• Layer bacon, scrambled eggs, and crispy potatoes onto the tortillas.
• Top with optional toppings like shredded cheese, salsa, or avocado.

Grilling Tip:

If you want a smoky twist, warm the tortillas and crisp the potatoes on the grill instead of in the pan.

Extra Flavor and Pairing Ideas:

Serve with fresh pico de gallo, hot sauce, or a side of grilled veggies. You could also substitute sausage for bacon if you want to change up the protein.

FAQ:

Q: Can I prepare this in advance? A: Yes, you can cook the bacon and potatoes ahead of time. Reheat in a skillet and scramble the eggs fresh before serving.

Q: Can I make this without bacon? A: Absolutely! Swap bacon for sausage or a veggie alternative, and use butter or oil for cooking.

Enjoy!
