SCRAMBLED EGG TACOS

Categories     main-dish

Time 25m

Yield 4 servings

Number Of Ingredients 13

8 tomatillos, husked, then halved
1 small red onion, quartered
1 jalapeno, seeded and halved
Olive oil, for roasting
Kosher salt and freshly ground black pepper
1 cup picked cilantro leaves
Juice of 2 limes
8 large eggs
1 tablespoon unsalted butter
Kosher salt and freshly ground black pepper
1 tablespoon Mexican crema
8 corn tortillas, warmed, for serving
Cilantro, for serving

Steps:

  • For the tomatillo salsa: Preheat your oven to 450 degrees F.
  • Lay out the tomatillos, red onion and jalapeno on a rimmed baking sheet and drizzle with olive oil. Season with salt and pepper then roast until slightly charred and softened, 10 minutes. Remove from the oven and let cool slightly. Pour into the bowl of a food processor and puree until relatively smooth. Add the cilantro and lime juice and adjust with salt.
  • For the scrambled eggs: Place a saute pan over medium heat. In the meantime, scramble your eggs in a bowl, being sure not to have any long strands of egg whites hanging off of your fork.
  • When the pan is hot, add the butter and swirl it around as it melts to coat the pan. Pour in your eggs and continue to scramble them in the pan so you have small curds. Season with salt and pepper and cook until the eggs are loose and still somewhat runny. Stir in the Mexican crema to stop the eggs from cooking further.
  • To serve: Build a taco by spooning some of the soft scrambled eggs on a tortilla. Top with more Mexican crema and the Tomatillo Salsa and cilantro.

Tips:

  • Use fresh eggs for the best flavor and texture.
  • Beat the eggs well before cooking to ensure they cook evenly.
  • Season the eggs with salt and pepper, or other desired seasonings, before cooking.
  • Cook the eggs over medium heat, stirring constantly, until they are cooked to your desired doneness.
  • For a fluffy scramble, remove the eggs from the heat when they are still slightly runny. They will continue to cook from the residual heat.
  • For a more well-done scramble, cook the eggs until they are completely set.
  • Serve the scrambled eggs immediately, while they are still warm.
  • Top the scrambled eggs with your favorite taco toppings, such as cheese, salsa, sour cream, and guacamole.

Conclusion:

Scrambled egg tacos are a quick, easy, and delicious breakfast, lunch, or dinner option. They can be made with a variety of ingredients, making them a versatile dish that can be enjoyed by people of all ages. With a little practice, you can make scrambled egg tacos that are perfect for any occasion.
