Tips:
- Use fresh ingredients: The fresher the ingredients, the better your egg salad tacos will taste. Use ripe avocados, crisp lettuce, and fresh cilantro.
- Hard-boil your eggs perfectly: For the best results, hard-boil your eggs for 10-12 minutes. This will give you a firm yolk that is easy to mash.
- Mash your eggs with a fork: Don't use a food processor to mash your eggs. This will make them too smooth and runny. Instead, use a fork to mash them until they are just combined.
- Use a flavorful mayonnaise: The mayonnaise is one of the key ingredients in egg salad. Choose a mayonnaise that has a lot of flavor, such as a homemade mayonnaise or a mayonnaise made with herbs or spices.
- Add your favorite toppings: The possibilities are endless when it comes to toppings for egg salad tacos. Some popular options include bacon, cheese, salsa, and guacamole.
