Instructions

Preheat oven to 425°F for roasting breakfast potatoes until crispy.

Wash and dice potatoes into uniform 1/2-inch cubes for even cooking.

Toss diced potatoes with olive oil, paprika, garlic powder, onion powder, salt, and pepper.

Spread seasoned potatoes on baking sheet and roast for 25-30 minutes until golden.

Meanwhile, cook bacon in large skillet over medium heat until crispy throughout.

Transfer cooked bacon to paper towels to drain, then chop into bite-sized pieces.

Reserve 2 tablespoons bacon fat in skillet for cooking vegetables with flavor.

Sauté diced bell pepper and onion in bacon fat until softened and lightly caramelized.

Add minced jalapeños and garlic, cooking for 1-2 minutes until fragrant.

Season sautéed vegetables with cumin, chili powder, and smoked paprika for depth.

In large bowl, whisk eggs with milk, salt, and pepper until well combined.

Heat butter in non-stick pan over medium-low heat until melted and foamy.

Pour whisked eggs into buttered pan and cook slowly, stirring gently for creaminess.

Continue stirring eggs until they form soft, fluffy curds but remain slightly wet.

Remove eggs from heat while still creamy - they'll finish cooking from residual heat.

Warm tortillas in dry skillet or wrap in damp towel and microwave briefly.

Assembly: Place warm tortilla on plate and add generous portion of scrambled eggs.

Top eggs with crispy breakfast potatoes and chopped bacon pieces generously.

Add sautéed vegetables and sprinkle with shredded cheese blend while eggs are hot.

Garnish with diced tomatoes, sliced avocado, red onion, and fresh cilantro leaves.

Serve immediately with lime wedges, salsa verde, hot sauce, and sour cream.

Fold tacos and enjoy while filling is hot and cheese is melted perfectly.
