Bacon and egg lettuce wrap breakfast tacos

Start your day with a delicious and low-carb breakfast option: Bacon and Egg Lettuce Wrap Breakfast Tacos. This recipe combines the classic flavors of bacon and eggs with the freshness of lettuce wraps, creating a nutritious and satisfying meal. Perfect for anyone looking to enjoy a hearty breakfast without the extra carbs!

Ingredients:

4 oz bacon
110g
4 eggs
220g
2 tbsp heavy whipping cream
30g
1 dash salt
0.40g
1 dash black pepper
1/10g
2 tbsp cheddar cheese
14g
2 oz cheddar cheese
54g
4 leafs lettuce
110g

Instructions:

1. Cook the Bacon:
- Place the bacon in a cold skillet and cook over medium heat, turning occasionally until crispy.
- Transfer the cooked bacon to a paper towel-lined plate to drain and cool.
- Once cool enough to handle, crumble or chop the bacon into bite-sized pieces.
2. Prepare the Egg Mixture:
- In a medium bowl, whisk the eggs with the heavy whipping cream until well combined.
- Season with a dash of salt and black pepper.
3. Scramble the Eggs:
- Heat a non-stick skillet over medium heat.
- Pour in the egg mixture and let it sit for a few seconds until it starts to set around the edges.
- Gently stir with a spatula, pushing the eggs from the edges towards the center.
- Cook until the eggs are softly scrambled and still slightly runny, then remove from the heat. The eggs will continue to cook from residual heat in the pan.
4. Assemble the Tacos:
- Lay out the lettuce leaves on a clean work surface.
- Evenly distribute the scrambled eggs onto each lettuce leaf.
- Sprinkle the crumbled bacon over the eggs.
- Divide the 2 tbsp of shredded cheddar cheese and the additional 2 oz of shredded cheddar cheese among the four lettuce wraps for added cheese goodness.

5. Serve:
- Fold or roll the lettuce leaves around the filling to create the "taco" shape.
- Serve immediately while warm.

Tips:

- Use crispy bacon for added texture and flavor. Cook it to your desired level of crispness before adding it to the lettuce wraps.

- Make sure to whisk the eggs thoroughly with the heavy whipping cream to achieve a fluffy and creamy texture.

- Season the eggs with a dash of salt and black pepper to enhance the flavors, but feel free to add any other favorite seasoning or herbs.

- Grate the cheddar cheese finely so it melts more evenly over the eggs, giving you a rich and cheesy experience in every bite.

- Choose large, sturdy lettuce leaves that can hold the filling without tearing. Romaine lettuce or butter lettuce works well for this recipe.

- You can add other toppings like diced tomatoes, avocado slices, or a dollop of salsa for extra flavor and nutrients.
