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
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 the 4 large eggs together with a pinch of sea salt until fully combined and slightly frothy to ensure fluffy scrambled eggs.
- Sauté pico de gallo: Heat ½ teaspoon of avocado oil in a medium nonstick skillet over medium heat. Add half of the pico de gallo (½ cup) to the skillet and cook, stirring occasionally, for 3 to 5 minutes until the pico softens slightly and releases its flavors.
- Scramble the eggs: Pour the beaten eggs into the skillet over the softened pico de gallo mixture. Stir gently and continuously, scrambling the eggs until they are just set but still moist and soft.
- Add cheese and finish: Stir in ¼ cup grated cheddar or Mexican cheese blend until it melts into the eggs. Remove the skillet from the heat promptly to prevent overcooking.
- Prepare tortillas: Warm 4 corn or flour tortillas by heating them on a dry skillet or charring briefly over a gas flame to enhance their flavor and pliability.
- Assemble tacos: Divide the scrambled eggs evenly among the warmed tortillas, then top each with sliced avocado and the remaining cooked pico de gallo.
- Garnish and serve: Sprinkle fresh cilantro leaves over the tacos and serve immediately with your favorite hot sauce for an added kick.
Notes
- Prepare the pico de gallo in advance to streamline morning assembly.
- Use either corn or flour tortillas according to your preference.
- Adjust the amount of hot sauce to control the spice level.
- For a richer flavor, try adding a sprinkle of cotija cheese instead of cheddar.
- Avocado oil is preferred for its mild flavor and high smoke point but can be substituted with olive oil.
- These tacos can be customized with additional toppings such as diced tomatoes or sliced jalapeños.
