Ingredients:

• 3x Strips of Bacon
• 3x Eggs
• 3x Tortillas
• 1 handful of Shredded Mexican Cheese
• 2 tbsp Avacado Oil
• 1 tspn Salt
• 1 tspn Pepper
• ¼ tspn MSG
• 1 glob Hot Sauce. Melinda's Ghost Pepper recommended

Steps

1. Start Cooking Bacon
   1. Begin heating a frying pan at medium-high heat. Cover with parchment paper. This will catch the grease from the bacon, so it's easier to dispose of!
   2. Place strips of Bacon onto the parchment paper.
   3. Lightly pepper the bacon (no salt) and add a pinch of MSG
   4. Cook until you see the bacon begin to brown on the under side (about 8 min).
   5. Flip the bacon. Let it cook until both sides brown. About 6 more min.
   6. Let bacon sit on a paper towel for about 2 min.
2. Heat Tortillas (while Bacon cooking)
   In a clean pan (or directly over the flame if you have a gas stove), heat tortillas on each side. Don't use a microwave because it just won't taste as good.
   Distribute the cheese amongst each taco to let it melt.
3. Scramble Eggs (while Bacon cooking)
   Eggs are crucial, so do NOT use what you think is best. Trust the recipe. If you listen to nothing else I say, listen to how to do these eggs. These are THE best way to make eggs for breakfast tacos! I promise you.
   1. Begin heating a small pan to high temperature.
   2. Crack your 3 eggs into a bowl or plate with rim.
   3. Scramble well.
   4. Season with the tspns of salt, pepper, and MSG, and stir well.
   5. Once the pan is heated, poor the tbspns of Avacado oil in and let it begin to simmer and glisten.
   6. Poor your eggs in. They will quickly begin to fry and bubble. Use a spatula to stir them and scramble them.
   7. Once the eggs have finished cooking, you will have perfect, thick, fluffy eggs to make up the substantive part of the breakfast taco. A breakfast taco makes or breaks at this step.
   8. Distribute the eggs among the three tortillas equally.
4. Assemble the Tacos
   1. Dash a bit of hot sauce on each of the three currently-just-egg-and-cheese tacos you've made.
   2. Split each strip of bacon in half and throw 2 half-strips into each taco.
