I'm not normally a big fan of breakfast tacos, but I decided to give this recipe a go. Sadly, I didn't realize that we were down to our last tortilla until I'd almost finished making everything else. So I still can't really evaluate the "taco" part of this recipe (since we gave the last tortilla to the Kidlet). But we had some tortilla chips left over from E's baby shower, so TF and I just had our taco fillings on a bed of chips. It was a bit reminiscent of migas (but harder to eat). I did like it that way though. And I think that making the tacos fresh (rather than getting them from the warming lamps of a fast food place) would probably go a long way toward making them more palatable. That, and just having really good, thin, fresh tortillas.

The recipe itself is pretty simple: just some cheesy scrambled eggs in a tortilla with lettuce, salsa, and sour cream. I think the combination works very well though. I feel like the fresh greens add a lot. We didn't have lettuce, but some shredded black kale made a nice stand-in.

Breakfast Tacos with Tomato-Avocado Salsa

Slightly adapted from The Good Egg by Marie Simmons

Ingredients

• 1 recipe tomato-avocado salsa
• 8 (20cm/8") flour tortillas
• 8 large eggs
• 1/4 c. water
• 1 tsp. coarse sea salt
• 1/8 tsp. black peppercorns, ground
• 1-3 tsp. olive oil
• 1/4-1/2 c. grated Monterey Jack or mild cheddar
• 4 c. shredded lettuce or kale
• 1/2 c. sour cream

Directions

1. Prepare the salsa and set aside.
2. Warm the tortillas by your preferred method and set aside.
3. Whisk the eggs with the water, salt, and pepper.
4. Heat the oil over medium heat.
5. Pour in the eggs and cook for a minute or so.
6. Reduce heat to medium low and use a spatula to turn and stir the eggs, forming large curds.
7. Continue to cook, stirring often, until the eggs are nearly completely set (2-3 minutes).
8. Add cheese, cover, and remove from heat.
9. Once cheese is melted, assemble the tacos: place a handful of lettuce, spoonful of eggs, spoonful of salsa, and dollop of sour cream down the middle of each tortilla and fold it up.
10. Serve immediately! (Or let each person assemble their own taco at the table.)
