Ingredients

Scale

Eggs and Dairy

  • 4 large fresh eggs
  • 1/2 cup shredded cheddar cheese
  • 1/2 cup shredded Monterey Jack cheese
  • 1 tablespoon butter or oil

Produce and Fresh Toppings

  • 2 small corn or flour tortillas
  • 1/4 cup fresh salsa
  • 1/2 avocado, sliced
  • 2 green onions, chopped
  • Salt, to taste
  • Black pepper, to taste

Instructions

  1. Prep Your Ingredients: Grate the cheddar and Monterey Jack cheese, chop the green onions, slice the avocado, and warm the small corn or flour tortillas to make them soft and pliable. Having everything ready before cooking ensures a smooth process.
  2. Scramble the Eggs: Heat butter or oil in a non-stick skillet over medium-low heat. Whisk the eggs with a pinch of salt and pepper, then pour into the pan. Stir gently and fold the eggs continuously until just set but still creamy, avoiding overcooking for a soft texture.
  3. Add Cheese to the Eggs: Sprinkle the shredded cheeses onto the eggs just before they finish cooking, allowing them to melt and blend with the eggs to create a rich, creamy mixture.
  4. Build Your Tacos: Lay the warmed tortillas flat and spoon the cheesy scrambled eggs in the center. Top each with fresh avocado slices, chopped green onions, and a spoonful of salsa to balance flavors.
  5. Serve and Enjoy: Carefully fold the tacos and serve immediately for the best taste and texture. They pair wonderfully with additional garnishes or sides if desired.

Notes

  • Use fresh eggs for silkier, richer scrambled eggs.
  • Cook eggs on low heat to maintain creamy texture and avoid rubberiness.
  • Warm tortillas in a dry skillet or oven to keep them flexible and flavorful.
  • Combine cheddar and Monterey Jack cheeses for optimal meltability and flavor depth.
  • Add fresh toppings just before serving to maintain their freshness and crunch.
