Serving: 4 | Pre Time: 15 minutes | Cooking Time: 12 minutes
Ingredients
- For the Taco Filling:
- 8 large eggs
- 1/2 cup whole milk
- 1/2 teaspoon kosher salt
- 1/4 teaspoon black pepper
- 1 tablespoon unsalted butter
- 1/2 cup shredded cheddar cheese
- 8 small corn tortillas
- For the Avocado Salsa:
- 1 large avocado, diced
- 1/4 cup finely chopped red onion
- 1 jalapeño, seeded and minced
- 2 tablespoons fresh lime juice
- 2 tablespoons chopped fresh cilantro
- 1/4 teaspoon salt
- For Serving:
- 1/2 cup pico de gallo
- Hot sauce (optional)
Instructions
- Whisk together 8 large eggs, 1/2 cup whole milk, 1/2 teaspoon kosher salt, and 1/4 teaspoon black pepper in a medium bowl until fully combined.
- Heat a large non-stick skillet over medium heat and melt 1 tablespoon unsalted butter, swirling to coat the pan.
- Pour the egg mixture into the skillet and let it set for 30 seconds without stirring.
- Gently push the cooked edges toward the center with a spatula, letting the uncooked eggs flow to the edges, repeating until eggs are softly set but still moist, about 3-4 minutes total. Tip: Avoid overcooking to keep the eggs fluffy.
- Remove the skillet from heat and immediately fold in 1/2 cup shredded cheddar cheese, letting it melt from residual heat.
- Warm 8 small corn tortillas in a dry skillet over medium heat for 30 seconds per side until pliable and lightly toasted. Tip: Warming prevents them from cracking when filled.
- In a separate bowl, combine 1 diced large avocado, 1/4 cup finely chopped red onion, 1 minced jalapeño, 2 tablespoons fresh lime juice, 2 tablespoons chopped fresh cilantro, and 1/4 teaspoon salt, gently mixing to coat.
- Divide the scrambled eggs evenly among the warmed tortillas.
- Top each taco with a spoonful of the avocado salsa and 1 tablespoon of pico de gallo per taco.
- Drizzle with hot sauce if desired and serve immediately. Tip: Assemble tacos just before eating to keep the tortillas from getting soggy.
Bright, creamy avocado salsa balances the fluffy eggs and sharp cheddar for a satisfying bite. The crisp corn tortillas add a subtle crunch that holds up well to the fillings. For a fun twist, serve them as a build-your-own taco bar with extra toppings like sliced radishes or crumbled cotija cheese.
