Instructions

Heat the tortillas in a dry skillet or on a grill until warm and slightly charred. Keep them wrapped in a clean cloth to stay warm.
In a bowl, whisk together eggs, milk, salt, and pepper. Heat oil or butter in a non-stick skillet over medium heat. Add the egg mixture and gently scramble until cooked through.
Place the warm tortillas on a plate. Divide the scrambled eggs among the tortillas. Sprinkle cheese over the hot eggs (so it melts). Add bacon or sausage if using.
Top with your choice of diced tomatoes, avocado, cilantro, salsa, and sour cream.
Serve the tacos immediately while they're still warm.

Notes

Tortilla Choices: You can use either corn or flour tortillas based on your preference. Corn tortillas offer a traditional taste, while flour tortillas are softer and larger.
Cheese Options: While I used cheddar cheese, feel free to experiment with different cheeses like Monterey Jack, Pepper Jack, or even a Mexican cheese blend for a different twist.
Adjusting the Heat: If you like a bit more spice in your breakfast, consider adding chopped jalapeños to the eggs or a spicy salsa on top.
Make-Ahead Tip: Cook the bacon in advance and store it in the refrigerator. Reheat it quickly in the microwave or in the skillet when preparing the tacos.
Vegetarian Option: Skip the bacon and add sautéed bell peppers, onions, or mushrooms to the eggs for a vegetarian version.
Storing and Reheating: If you have leftovers, store the egg mixture and toppings separately in the fridge. Reheat the eggs in the microwave or skillet, and assemble the tacos just before serving.
