Equipment
- 1 Non-stick Skillet For perfectly scrambled eggs.
- 1 Spatula For scrambling and folding eggs.
- 1 Small Pan or Comal To warm tortillas properly.
- 1 Sharp Knife For preparing avocado and any optional garnishes.
- 1 Cutting Board For safe and efficient avocado preparation.
Ingredients
Main
- 2 to 4 small corn tortillas you may double them up if you wish
- 2 large eggs
- 1 ripe avocado
- Kosher salt
- Yogurt or sour cream and hot sauce for serving
Instructions
- Halve the ripe avocado, remove the pit, scoop out the flesh, and either slice or roughly mash it with a pinch of salt.
- In a bowl, whisk the two large eggs with a pinch of kosher salt until just combined, being careful not to over-whisk.
- Heat a non-stick skillet over medium-low heat. Add the whisked eggs and cook, stirring gently with a spatula, until the eggs are just set and still moist.
- While the eggs cook, warm the corn tortillas in a dry small pan or comal over medium heat for about 20-30 seconds per side, until they are pliable and soft. You may double them up if desired.
- Assemble the tacos by placing a portion of the scrambled eggs into each warm tortilla.
- Top the eggs with the prepared avocado slices or mashed avocado.
- Add a dollop of yogurt or sour cream and a dash of hot sauce to each taco, if desired.
- Serve immediately and enjoy.
Notes
For fluffy scrambled eggs, cook them over medium-low heat, stirring gently and consistently until just set but still moist. Avoid overcooking, which can lead to a dry, rubbery texture. When warming corn tortillas, a dry pan or comal on medium heat works best; warm for 20-30 seconds per side until pliable. Double up tortillas for extra stability. Ensure your avocado is perfectly ripe—creamy, but not mushy—for the best texture. A squeeze of lime juice on the avocado can brighten the flavor and prevent browning. Don't shy away from generous seasoning with kosher salt; it elevates the simple ingredients.
