Drew's Breakfast Tacos

These tacos take a little more prep but are SO worth it!!! They are not easy on the waist line, but are OOOOOOH so amazing!!

1. brown O'brien hash brown potatoes 'n peppers in a little oil. Set aside
2. cut up bacon in small pieces and cook (keep the oil in the pan!!!) Set aside
3. saute 1/2 and onion w/ cut up pickled jalapenos in the bacon fat
4. beat 5 eggs w/ salt and pepper
5. add eggs to the pan w/ the onions. Add the bacon and potatoes back to the mix. When eggs
are almost done add in some cheese
Tacos are best when served in FRESH tortillas. Get the par-cooked ones not the fake plastic
tasting ones! :) YUUUUUM
