Ingredients:

4 slices bacon
2 tbsp canola oil

While the potatoes are cooking, warm the corn tortillas in a separate pan until pliable.
Take each tortilla and fill it with the potato and bacon mixture. Place on a baking sheet.
Pour the beaten eggs evenly over the filled tortillas.
Top each taco with shredded Monterey Jack cheese.
Bake in the preheated oven for 15 minutes or until the eggs are set and the cheese is melted.
