Description
Cozy breakfast tacos filled with scrambled eggs, tomatoes, and fresh ingredients, perfect for lazy brunches or busy mornings.
Ingredients
Scale
- 6 to 8 small corn tortillas
- 6 large eggs (or 4 eggs plus 1/4 cup milk)
- 1 small white onion, diced
- 1 tomato or a handful of cherry tomatoes, chopped
- 1 small bunch of cilantro, chopped
- 1 lime, juiced
- 1/4 cup grated cheddar or queso fresco
- 1 jalapeño, sliced (optional)
- 1 tablespoon neutral oil
- Salt and black pepper to taste
- A pinch of ground cumin or smoked paprika
- Shredded rotisserie chicken or black beans (optional)
- Plain yogurt or crumbled cotija (for serving)
Instructions
- Prep your ingredients: dice the onion, chop the tomato, finely chop the cilantro, slice the jalapeño, and grate the cheese. Juice the lime and set it aside.
- Heat a skillet over medium heat, add the neutral oil, and then add the onion. Cook until translucent and just beginning to brown, about 3 to 4 minutes.
- If using shredded chicken or beans, add them to the skillet now, season with salt and cumin or paprika, then move to a warm plate.
- Reduce heat slightly, add another splash of oil, crack the eggs into a bowl, add milk if using, season with salt and pepper, and whisk until combined. Pour into the skillet.
- Let eggs sit for 10 to 15 seconds, then gently pull edges toward the center with a spatula until cooked into soft curds, about 1 to 2 minutes total.
- In another skillet, warm the corn tortillas for 20 to 30 seconds per side until pliable.
- Assemble tacos: spoon eggs, add fillings, tomatoes, cilantro, a squeeze of lime, and cheese. Fold and serve immediately with extra lime and hot sauce.
Notes
Feel free to customize with leftover veggies or proteins. Best enjoyed fresh but can be stored separately in the fridge for later assembly.
