Ingredients

  • 6 strips uncooked bacon
  • 2 medium-sized ripe tomatoes, sliced
  • Kosher salt
  • Freshly ground black pepper
  • 2 tablespoons vegetable oil
  • 6 large eggs
  • 6 corn tortillas
  • 1/3 cup cilantro leaves and small sprigs

Method

  • Line a plate with paper towels.
  • Set a nonstick skillet large enough to hold the bacon in a single layer over medium heat and add the bacon slices.
  • Cook, turning once, until browned and crispy, about 10 minutes.
  • Drain the slices on the towel-lined plate but leave the fat in the skillet.
  • Add the tomato slices to the skillet, season with salt and pepper, and saute for 2 minutes.
  • Flip the tomatoes and cook for 2 minutes more.
  • Remove to a warm plate and set aside.
  • Wipe out the skillet and set it over medium-low heat.
  • Add 1 tablespoon of the oil and break in 3 of the eggs.
  • Season with a little salt and pepper and fry sunny-side up, with firm whites and still-liquid yolks.
  • Repeat with the remaining oil and eggs.
  • Meanwhile, heat the tortillas in a dry skillet over a high flame or directly on a gas flame until theyre puffed and a little blistered.
  • Place a strip of bacon on top of each hot tortilla, followed by the tomato slices, evenly distributed among the 6 tacos.
  • Add a fried egg to each, sprinkle with the cilantro, and serve at once.
