Calories 301kcal
Ingredients
- 8 slices bacon, chopped into 1 to 1/2 inch pieces
- 1 1/2 cup frozen breakfast diced potatoes (thawed) *see notes
- 1/2 teaspoon paprika
- Salt and pepper to taste
- 1 tablespoon butter
- 8 eggs
- Dash of hot sauce (optional)
- 1/2 cup shredded cheddar cheese
- 8 taco size flour tortillas, warmed
Optional Toppings
- Avocado slices
- Salsa
- chopped cilantro
- chopped onions

Instructions
- Heat a large nonstick skillet over medium high heat. Add the bacon and cook stirring often until browned and crisp, about 5 minutes. Transfer the bacon to a plate lined with paper towels to drain.
- Remove all but 1 tablespoon of the bacon drippings from the skillet. Add the potatoes and cook for about 6 minutes or until the potatoes are tender. Season with the paprika and salt and pepper to taste. Remove the potatoes from the skillet.
- In a medium bowl, beat the eggs with a generous pinch of salt and pepper and a dash of hot sauce. Wipe out the skillet and melt the butter over medium-low heat. Add the eggs and cook and scramble eggs until set. Stir in cheese and remove from the heat.
- To assemble the tacos, layer the tortillas with the potatoes, scrambled eggs and bacon. Top with any additional toppings. Serve warm.
Notes
- You can use any breakfast diced potato like "Diced Hash Brown Potatoes" or "Potatoes O'Brien"
- Instead of frozen potatoes, you can use 1 large russet potato, peeled and diced.
- While cooking the eggs, you can keep the potatoes and bacon warm by placing them in a preheated 300 degree oven.
