Method

  1. Cook the bacon in a skillet, stirring occasionally, until it becomes crispy. This should take around 6-8 minutes.

  2. Using a slotted spoon, transfer the cooked bacon onto paper towels to drain excess fat. Do not pour off the fat from the skillet.

  3. Add the potatoes to the same skillet and cook, stirring often, until they turn golden brown and become tender. This process should take about 10-12 minutes.

  4. Use a slotted spoon to transfer the cooked potatoes to a plate, and season them with salt and pepper.

  5. In a large bowl, whisk the eggs together until well blended. Season the eggs with salt and pepper.

  6. Heat butter in a large nonstick skillet over medium heat.

  7. Pour the whisked eggs into the skillet and cook them, stirring occasionally and scraping the bottom of the skillet with a heatproof spatula. This will help form large curds. Cook until the eggs are just set, which should take around 3 minutes.

  8. Remove the skillet from the heat and mix in the cooked bacon.

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