Scrambled Egg Tacos with Salsa Verde
You are going to love these easy scrambled egg tacos with salsa verde! Packed with protein and so much flavor, they are great for breakfast, lunch, or dinner.
Equipment
Ingredients
- 8 large eggs
- 1-2 tablespoons butter, for greasing the pan
- 1/2 teaspoon salt*
- 1/2 teaspoon black pepper
- 1/4 cup crumbled cojita cheese
- 3 tablespoons chopped cilantro
- 1/4 cup salsa verde
- 1 avocado, thinly sliced
- 8 warmed corn tortillas**
Instructions
- Whisk the eggs and season with salt and pepper.
- Heat a medium saucepan over medium-low heat and add butter. Once melted, add the eggs and cook, gently moving the eggs around the pan as they set. This helps break up large curds and makes creamier scrambled eggs. Just before they are set, remove them from the heat and add salt, pepper, and cheese. Stir until just incorporated.
- Divide eggs into warmed tortillas and top with cilantro, salsa verde, and sliced avocados.
Notes
*I assume that the cojita and salsa verde are both salted; you may decide to use more/less salt as desired.
** I prefer warmed corn tortillas for these, but flour also works.
