Crazy Good Egg Tacos (10 Minute)
Description
This recipe starts by whisking eggs with chili powder and salt, providing a mild spicy seasoning. Scrambling them in butter keeps the eggs tender and moist while allowing them to form loose curds by lightly scraping the pan during cooking. The tortillas are warmed either over an open flame or briefly in the microwave to make them pliable and enhance flavor through caramelization or softness.
Once assembled, the eggs are placed in the center of each tortilla and topped with shredded Mexican cheese, a spoonful of salsa, and chopped cilantro, which add creaminess, acidity, and freshness to the tacos. Together, these components deliver a balanced and lively flavor profile with a combination of soft eggs and slightly crisp or soft tortillas.
The tacos can be served immediately for a quick meal. They fit well into breakfast menus or casual lunches where you want something warm, handheld, and flavorful with straightforward preparation. The ingredient list is simple, making these easy to customize or complement with other toppings or sides.
Ingredients
- 8 egg large
- 1 tbsp chili powder
- 1 tsp salt adjust to taste
- 2 tbsp butter unsalted
- 4 taco tortillas corn or flour
- 1/2 cup salsa
- 1/4 cup cilantro chopped
- 1 cup Mexican cheese
Instructions
- In a large bowl, whisk the eggs with chili powder and salt.
- Preheat a pan with butter. Scramble the egg mixture in the pan, scraping only the bottom of the pan as the eggs cook to prevent breaking the eggs up too much. The eggs should take around 3-4 minutes to cook all the way through.
- Heat the tortillas over an open flame for a nice sear or in the microwave for 10 seconds until slightly softened. Place the egg mixture into the center of the tortilla.
- Top the egg mixture with cheese, salsa, and cilantro. Enjoy!
