Ingredients

Scale

For the Cheese Taco Shells:

  • 2 cups shredded Pepper Jack cheese
  • ½ tsp garlic powder
  • ½ tsp smoked paprika

For the Filling:

  • 4 large eggs
  • 2 tbsp heavy cream
  • ½ tsp salt
  • ¼ tsp black pepper
  • 4 slices bacon
  • ½ avocado, sliced
  • ¼ cup diced tomatoes
  • ¼ cup chopped fresh cilantro
  • Hot sauce or salsa (optional)

Instructions

1. Make the Cheese Taco Shells:

  1. Preheat oven to 375°F (190°C). Line a baking sheet with parchment paper.
  2. Sprinkle shredded cheese into 5-inch circles, leaving space between them.
  3. Sprinkle garlic powder and smoked paprika over the cheese.
  4. Bake for 7-10 minutes or until golden brown at the edges.
  5. Remove from the oven, let cool 1-2 minutes, then shape over a bowl or rolling pin. Let fully cool to hold shape.

2. Cook the Bacon:

  1. Heat a skillet over medium heat.
  2. Cook bacon until crispy, about 5-7 minutes.
  3. Transfer to a paper towel-lined plate and crumble when cool.

3. Make the Eggs:

  1. Whisk eggs with heavy cream, salt, and pepper.
  2. Heat a nonstick pan over low heat, add a little butter or oil.
  3. Pour in eggs and cook slowly, stirring until just set.

4. Assemble the Tacos:

  1. Fill cheese taco shells with scrambled eggs and bacon.
  2. Add avocado slices, diced tomatoes, and cilantro.
  3. Top with hot sauce or salsa, if desired.

Notes

  • Eat immediately for the best crunch. Cheese shells soften over time.
  • Swap bacon for chorizo or sausage for a different taste.
  • For spicier tacos, mix chopped jalapeños into the eggs or add extra hot sauce.
