Ingredients
Egg Mixture
- 4 large eggs
- ¼ cup milk
- Salt and pepper to taste
- 1 tablespoon butter or olive oil
Tacos
- 4 small flour or corn tortillas
- ½ cup shredded cheddar or Monterey Jack cheese
- ½ cup diced tomatoes
- ¼ cup chopped green onions
- 1 avocado, sliced
- 2 tablespoons chopped cilantro (optional)
- Hot sauce or salsa for serving
Instructions
- Prepare the Egg Mixture: In a small bowl, whisk together the eggs, milk, salt, and pepper until well combined and smooth.
- Cook the Eggs: Heat the butter or olive oil in a nonstick skillet over medium heat. Pour in the egg mixture and cook, stirring gently, until the eggs are scrambled and just set but still moist. Remove from heat.
- Warm the Tortillas: Warm the tortillas in a dry skillet over medium heat or microwave them for about 20 seconds until soft and pliable, making them easier to fold.
- Assemble the Tacos: Evenly divide the scrambled eggs among the warmed tortillas. Top each with shredded cheese, diced tomatoes, chopped green onions, and avocado slices.
- Add Final Touches: Sprinkle the tacos with chopped cilantro if using, and serve immediately with hot sauce or salsa on the side for added flavor.
Notes
- Customize with extras like cooked bacon, sausage, sautéed peppers, or black beans for added protein or flavor.
- For a lower-carb or gluten-free option, substitute tortillas with lettuce wraps.
- Use corn tortillas for a more traditional Mexican flavor and gluten-free option.
