Mikey's Bomb-Ass Breakfast Tacos (that is the official name for them)

So, my mom called me Saturday morning and guilted me into coming home for Mother's Day '10.  Then both my parents proceded to leave town.  I've been pretty bored considering none of my friends have been home.  However, this has led me to get creative with my cooking.  Also the fact that I'm not using one of those shitty excuses for a stove that the school provides helps. Anywho, I have been working on breakfast tacos.  They are pretty bomb to say the least.  Sorry to be Hungry Sam-esque with this post, but you can't win 'em all.  The recipe is as follows:

-2 eggs
-Whatever vegetables you like with your eggs (I use onion and peppers)
-Olive oil
-4 strips of bacon (I use turkey bacon, 'cause I'm tryna be healthy an shit.  Whatever, sue me.)
-Small corn tortillas
-Salt
-Pepper
-Monterey jack cheese (optional)

Take some olive oil and heat it up in one frying pan.  Take another frying pan and heat it per the instructions on the bacon package.  Sautee up the onions first (in the pan with olive oil) and add a pinch of salt for flavor.  Then after they turn a little translucent, add the peppers.  Add the four strips of bacon in the other pan and just watch them until they're done.  Remember to flip that shit.  When the peppers turn bright and soft and the onion begins to brown, add the two beaten eggs.  I like to add a tiny bit of water to beaten eggs to make them a tit bit fluffier, chyou know.   Scramble the eggs until they're done to your liking.  Put them on one plate and the bacon on another.  Add salt and pepper to the eggs.  Then take the two corn tortillas and heat them up in each pan.  Yes, one heats up in bacon fat.  It's awesome.  Then split up the eggs and add and equal amount to each tortilla after they're heated up.  Break the bacon into pieces and put it on top of the eggs.  Then add some cheese if you want and crush 'em.  The picture is on the above, obviously.

To describe how they taste, again we will look to our sister-blog, hungrysam.blogspot.com: "The first bite, every time, makes me chew slowly and gently, just enough to keep getting all the flavor. I think my eyes close a little. It's just that delicious, so savory that my primitive cortices stage a coup and higher function is temporarily non-existant. Finally, there's some sadness at the inevitably clean plate but it's overtaken and overwhelmed by satisfaction."
Love,
Mikey
