Ingredients
Egg Mixture
- 4 large eggs
- Sea salt, to taste
- ½ teaspoon avocado oil
- ½ cup pico de gallo (divided)
- ¼ cup grated cheddar cheese or Mexican cheese blend
Toppings and Assembly
- ½ avocado, sliced
- 4 corn or flour tortillas, warmed or charred over a gas flame
- Fresh cilantro leaves, for garnish
- Hot sauce, for serving
Instructions
- Beat the eggs: In a medium bowl, beat 4 large eggs with a pinch of sea salt until well combined and slightly frothy.
- Cook pico de gallo: Heat ½ teaspoon avocado oil in a medium nonstick skillet over medium heat. Add half of the pico de gallo and cook, stirring occasionally, for 3 to 5 minutes until it is lightly softened, enhancing its flavors.
- Scramble eggs with pico and cheese: Pour the beaten eggs into the skillet with the softened pico de gallo. Stir gently and scramble the eggs until they are just set but still moist. Stir in ¼ cup grated cheddar or Mexican cheese blend until melted, then remove the skillet from the heat.
- Prepare tortillas and toppings: Warm or char the corn or flour tortillas over a gas flame or in a skillet until soft and pliable. Slice ½ avocado and have fresh cilantro leaves ready.
- Assemble the tacos: Divide the scrambled eggs evenly among the warmed tortillas. Top each with avocado slices, the remaining pico de gallo, and garnish with fresh cilantro leaves. Serve immediately with hot sauce on the side for added spice.
Notes
- For best flavor, prepare the pico de gallo ahead of time to save morning prep time.
- Use corn tortillas for a gluten-free option or flour tortillas for a softer bite.
- Adjust seasoning and hot sauce to your taste preferences.
- Can easily be doubled or halved depending on the number of servings needed.
- To char tortillas, hold them with tongs over a gas flame until you see light black spots and a slight smoky aroma.
