In a cast iron skillet over the slow burning campfire coals, cook the bacon to desired doneness. Remove from the pan and set aside. Add the onion and potatoes to the skillet and cook them in the hot bacon fat for 10-12 minutes or until potatoes are soft.

Return the bacon to the skillet and add the eggs. Cover and cook for 2-3 minutes, until eggs are set. Top with cheese and allow to melt before slicing and serving.

• 1/2 tablespoon olive oil
• 8 pieces 12-inch flour tortillas

In a large pan, heat the olive oil and cook the has browns and ham, stirring occasionally, for 8-10 minutes, or until cooked through. While waiting for it to cook, whisk the eggs in a large bowl.
