Yield: 1 (2 tacos for 1 person) 1x

Ingredients

Scale
  • 3 tortillas of choice (see above for which we used!)
  • 3 eggs (I use pasture-raised)
  • 1 cup baby arugula
  • 1 red pepper, sautéed
  • 1 avocado
  • 1/21 tablespoon avocado oil
  • Red pepper flakes

Instructions

  1. In a large cast iron skillet (or the skillet you have), add avocado oil to the pan and turn to medium high heat
  2. Let the pan heat for a minute or two then turn to low heat and crack each egg in to the pan
  3. Cover the pan and let the eggs cook covered on low for about 5 minutes (sprinkle pepper flakes on top if desired as they cook), you want the egg white around the yolk to be cooked but the yolk to be runny! If you overcook by even 10 seconds or so the yolk will cook
  4. While the eggs cook you have 2 ways you can heat the tortillas: over a flame on your stove or on a grill pan if you have electric stove
  5. To heat over the flame (like the tortilla that has a burnt look in the pics), add tortilla directly to flame and let it heat on medium for about 1-2 minutes and keep flipping until it is crisped on each side
  6. The longer you let it cook, the crunchier it will be so if you prefer to fold your taco and hold it, heat for only 1-2 minutes total!
  7. Repeat until all tortillas are cooked
  8. If you are using a grill pan, let the grill pan heat on HIGH heat for a few minutes (you may want to heat this before the eggs start cooking so it gets hot) then add tortillas on the grill pan and heat for about 3 minutes on each side
  9. Top each tortilla with peppers, arugula, avocado and eggs! Some goat cheese or feta is also very delicious to add!
