6 slices bacon
1.5 cups shredded cheddar
1 bell pepper

How to cook it

Cook the bacon in a skillet over medium heat until crisp, then drain and crumble it.
Pour off most of the fat, add the diced bell pepper, and soften for 3 minutes.
Beat the eggs with the salt, pour into the pan, and scramble softly until just set, about 2 minutes.
Lay a tortilla in a clean skillet over medium heat, scatter cheddar, egg, bacon, and peppers over half, then fold and press.
Cook until golden and the cheese melts, about 2 minutes per side, then repeat with the remaining tortillas.
Cut into wedges and serve with salsa.
