Recipe Information
Ingredients
- 4 pieces Large eggs
- 0.5 cup Cheddar cheese, shredded
- 1 medium Avocado, diced
- 0.5 cup Cherry tomatoes, quartered
- 0.25 cup Sour cream
- 0.25 cup Cilantro, chopped
- 0.25 teaspoon Salt
- 0.25 teaspoon Black pepper
- 1 tablespoon Butter
- 1 piece Lime, cut into wedges
Instructions
In a medium bowl, whisk together the eggs with a pinch of salt and black pepper until well combined.
Heat a non-stick skillet over medium heat and add butter. Once melted, pour in about half of the whisked eggs to form a thin, even layer resembling a pancake.
Cook the egg 'taco shell' for 2-3 minutes until set, then carefully flip with a spatula and cook for another 1-2 minutes. Repeat with the remaining egg mixture to make two shells.
While the egg shells cook, prepare the fillings by mixing together the diced avocado, quartered cherry tomatoes, and cilantro in a bowl. Season with salt and black pepper to taste.
Place each egg taco shell on a serving plate. Sprinkle shredded cheddar cheese over the eggs while still warm so it melts slightly.
Evenly distribute the avocado-tomato mixture over each shell.
Top each taco with a dollop of sour cream and more chopped cilantro, if desired.
Serve immediately with lime wedges on the side for squeezing over the tacos.
