Yield 8 tacos

Number Of Ingredients 10

8 hard corn taco shells
6 large eggs
1 teaspoon taco seasoning with salt or chili powder
2 tablespoons unsalted butter
1 cup shredded Mexican-style cheese blend
3 or 4 scallions, chopped
1/2 cup salsa or taco sauce

1/2 cup grape tomatoes, halved or quartered if large
