Recipe Information
Ingredients
- 4 pieces large eggs
- 2 tablespoons whole milk
- 0.5 teaspoons salt
- 0.25 teaspoons black pepper
- 1 tablespoon olive oil
- 1 tablespoon butter
- 4 pieces flour tortillas
- 0.5 cup cheddar cheese, shredded
- 1 cup cherry tomatoes, quartered
- 0.25 cup fresh cilantro, chopped
- 1 medium avocado, sliced
- 1 whole lime, cut into wedges
- 0.5 piece jalapeño, finely sliced (optional)
Instructions
In a medium bowl, whisk together the eggs, milk, salt, and black pepper until well combined and slightly frothy.
Heat the olive oil and butter in a non-stick skillet over medium heat until the butter is melted and slightly foamy.
Pour in the egg mixture and let it sit for a few seconds before stirring. Gently stir and fold the eggs with a spatula until they are softly scrambled and cooked through. Remove from heat.
In a separate dry skillet over medium heat, warm the flour tortillas for about 30 seconds on each side until soft and pliable.
To assemble the tacos, place a portion of the scrambled eggs onto each tortilla.
Top the eggs with some shredded cheddar cheese, cherry tomatoes, sliced avocado, and a sprinkle of chopped cilantro.
Add a few slices of jalapeño if desired for an extra kick.
Serve the tacos with lime wedges on the side for squeezing over the filling, and enjoy!
