Recipe Information
Ingredients
- 6 large Eggs
- 6 slices Ham
- 4 medium Tomatillos
- 1 cup Cilantro leaves
- 1 medium Jalapeño
- 2 cloves Garlic
- 0.5 medium White onion
- 1 large Lime
- 1 medium Avocado
- 1 teaspoon Salt
- 1 tablespoon Olive oil
- 0.5 teaspoon Pepper
- 0.25 cup Cotija cheese (optional)
- 6 pieces Corn tortillas
Instructions
Preheat a skillet over medium heat and add the olive oil.
Peel the tomatillos and rinse them under warm water to remove any sticky residue. Cut the tomatillos into quarters.
Dice the jalapeño, white onion, and garlic into small pieces.
In the skillet, sauté the tomatillos, jalapeño, onion, and garlic until softened and slightly charred, about 5-7 minutes.
Transfer the sautéed vegetables to a blender. Add the cilantro, juice of one lime, salt, and pepper. Blend until smooth to create the green sauce. Set aside.
Crack the eggs into a medium bowl and whisk until fully blended.
Clean the skillet and return it to the stove over medium heat. Lightly grease the skillet with a little olive oil if needed.
Pour the whisked eggs into the skillet and cook, stirring gently, until the scrambled eggs reach your desired consistency. Stir in 3-4 tablespoons of the green sauce to give the eggs a vibrant green color.
In another skillet or griddle, heat the ham slices until they are warmed through and slightly browned, about 2 minutes per side.
Warm the corn tortillas in the same skillet or directly over a flame on a gas stove until pliable.
To serve, divide the green eggs and ham among the warmed tortillas. Top with sliced avocado, a drizzle of remaining green sauce, and a sprinkle of Cotija cheese if using.
Serve immediately and enjoy your Green Eggs and Ham Mexican Style!
