Instructions
- Cook the spam cubes or rectangles in a pan over medium-high heat, flipping occasionally, for 5-6 minutes or until slightly crisp. Remove from pan and let cool on paper towels to remove excess grease.
- Crack 6 large eggs into a bowl. Add 1 ½ tablespoons chimichurri to the bowl. Whisk vigorously until well combined.
- Reduce heat in the pan to medium and add a pat of butter (if necessary, though there may be enough Spam grease to use). When the butter has melted, add the egg and chimichurri mixture.
- Cook, moving the eggs across the pan frequently, until desired cook is achieved.
- In another pan, melt a pat of butter over medium heat. Add two generous handfuls of spinach to the pan, along with a few dashes of salt, if desired. Cook until just wilted, around 2-3 minutes.
- Remove eggs and spinach from heat and get ready to assemble!
- Put two tortillas on each plate. Divide spinach evenly amongst four tacos. Divide chimichurri scrambled eggs evenly between four tacos. Divide Spam evenly between four tacos.
- Garnish with additional chimichurri and/or feta (or other crumbly cheese). Enjoy your adult-friendly Green Eggs and Spam!

Notes
- *Nutrition information was calculated with an online nutrition calculator and should be considered estimates.
- Cutting the spam up beforehand maximize the surface area in the pan, ensuring it crisps up evenly. This helps to add a nice texture contrast to the soft tortilla and scrambled eggs.
- You could also use corn tortillas. The earthiness of the corn plays well with fatty spam.
