Ingredients
  

For the Eggs
  • 4 large Eggs A vital source of protein and creaminess for your tacos; egg whites can be a lighter option.
  • 1 tablespoon Butter or Oil Adds delightful flavor to your dish; vegetable oil can substitute for dairy-free cooking.
For the Cheese
  • 1 cup Shredded Cheese Melts beautifully and adds richness; try using cheddar, Monterey Jack, or a Mexican cheese blend for varied flavors.
For the Tortillas
  • 4 medium Tortillas The foundation of your taco; use corn tortillas for a gluten-free option.
For Optional Toppings
  • ½ cup Salsa Offers a fresh and zesty kick that enhances your tacos.
  • ¼ cup Cilantro Adds brightness and a pop of flavor; a great finish.
  • 1 medium Avocado Slices Creamy and rich, they elevate every bite.
  • ½ cup Chopped Tomatoes Provides freshness and color on top.
  • ¼ cup Sour Cream A cool and creamy contrast that pairs perfectly with the warm tacos.

Method
 

Preparation Steps
  1. Warm the tortillas by heating a skillet over medium heat, warming each tortilla for about 20-30 seconds on each side until pliable. Alternatively, microwave them for 15 seconds.
  2. In a medium bowl, crack open the eggs and whisk them together with a pinch of salt and pepper until well combined and frothy.
  3. Heat a tablespoon of butter or oil in a non-stick skillet over medium heat. Once melted, pour in the whisked eggs and gently stir, cooking for 2-3 minutes until soft and slightly runny.
  4. When the eggs are nearly set but still moist, sprinkle shredded cheese onto the eggs and cover the skillet to let the cheese melt for an additional minute.
  5. Scoop the cheesy scrambled eggs onto the center of each warmed tortilla, distributing evenly.
  6. Add your favorite toppings, such as salsa, avocado, cilantro, or sour cream.
  7. Serve the tacos warm, paired with crispy hash browns or a light fruit salad for a complete meal.
