A great Mexican hot sauce like Valentina or Cholula strikes a perfect balance of flavor and heat.

Recipe information

  • Yield

    4 Servings

Ingredients

4 ounces bacon (about 6 slices), cut into 1/2" pieces
1 large russet potato, peeled, cut into ¼" pieces
Kosher salt, freshly ground pepper
8 6" flour tortillas, warmed
8 large eggs
2 tablespoons unsalted butter
Monterey Jack or cheddar, shredded (for serving)
1 avocado, sliced (for serving)
Hot sauce (for serving)

Preparation

  1. Step 1

    Cook bacon, stirring occasionally, until crisp, 6–8 minutes. Using a slotted spoon, transfer to paper towels to drain (do not pour off fat from skillet).

    Step 2

    Add potatoes to skillet and cook, stirring often, until golden brown and tender, 10–12 minutes. Using a slotted spoon, transfer to a plate; season with salt and pepper.

    Step 3

    Meanwhile, whisk eggs in a large bowl to blend; season with salt and pepper. Heat butter in a large nonstick skillet over medium heat. Cook eggs, stirring occasionally and scraping bottom of skillet with a heatproof spatula to form large curds, until just set, about 3 minutes. Remove from heat and mix in bacon.

    Step 4

    Fill tortillas with egg mixture and potatoes and top with cheese, avocado, and hot sauce.
