Mexican-Inspired Breakfast Tacos with Eggs and Bacon
Kick-start your weekend with these Mexican-inspired breakfast tacos, which are layered with scrambled eggs, crispy bacon, a lime-drenched tomato and cucumber salsa, and a generous helping of charred green feta sauce. Served on warm corn tortillas and finished with your favourite hot sauce, they strike the perfect balance of fresh, smoky, creamy and spicy flavours.
You can either build them on one large tortilla or divide the filling between smaller ones, but the most important rule is this: use corn tortillas, not flour. The natural sweetness of the corn complements the charred green feta sauce and zesty lime salsa beautifully, creating a vibrant, bold and satisfying breakfast.
Make the Charred Green Feta Sauce Ahead of Time
This recipe relies on having a batch of sauce prepared in advance and stored in the fridge. You could, of course, make the sauce fresh, but this would add an extra 50 minutes to the cooking time, which isn’t ideal for breakfast. Consider making the sauce the night before, or for a quicker alternative, simply mix some feta with olive oil, lemon juice, coriander and lime juice.
