Cook the tater tots according to the package directions. (We fry them to order at the restaurant; you can do that, or bake them—they’re almost just as good!)

Heat the oil in a large pan set over medium heat. Add the eggs and season with salt and pepper. Using a fork (or a silicone spatula if you’re using a nonstick pan), constantly stir the eggs in a figure-eight pattern, taking care to scrape up any bits that are getting too firm or are sticking to the pan. Continue stirring the eggs until they are cooked through but still slightly wet, about 4 minutes. Season with a bit more salt and pepper. Set the pan of eggs aside.

Place a tortilla in a large skillet set over medium heat, warming it until it is heated through and lightly browned in spots, about 1 minute. Turn the tortilla over and warm it on the second side, 1 minute more. Transfer the tortilla to a plate and cover it with a kitchen towel to keep it warm. Repeat with the remaining tortillas.

Lay the tortillas out on your work surface. Sprinkle the cheese across the middle of each tortilla. Layer ¼ cup of the bean dip over the cheese and add 5 or 6 tater tots to the side. Add the eggs to the center, 1 strip of bacon to the side of the eggs, and a few slices of avocado, if using. Finish with the Salsa Roja, tortilla strips, and cilantro. Fold the left and right sides of each tortilla in by 1 inch. Grab the bottom of the tortilla and roll it away from you, ensuring the sides are tucked in. Serve with more Salsa Roja on the side.

We serve this all day long because it’s just that damned good. It has everything you want for breakfast, plus tater tots. It’s even better if you’ve got some leftover Carne Asada (this page) or Carnitas (this page).
