Avocado and Egg Breakfast Tacos

Ingredients

  • 4 corn tortillas
  • 1 cup (180g) chopped fresh tomato
  • 1 large jalapeño, seeded and chopped
  • 2 green onions, chopped
  • 1/2 cup (25g) fresh cilantro, chopped
  • 2 teaspoons fresh lime juice
  • 1 large egg
  • 4 large egg whites
  • 1/2 teaspoon hot sauce
  • 1 medium avocado, sliced

Directions

Wrap the tortillas in foil and warm in a 200ºF (93ºC) oven while you prepare the filling.

In a medium bowl, combine the tomatoes, jalapeño, green onion, cilantro and lime juice. Stir to mix.

In a medium bowl, whisk the egg and egg whites. Place a medium saute pan over medium heat and let warm for a few seconds, then spray with olive oil. Add the egg mixture and scramble, turning with a spatula as it cooks. When cooked through, sprinkle with hot sauce.

Assemble the tacos by placing two tortillas on each plate, and divide the eggs between them. Top with 1/4 of the avocado and a spoonful of salsa; serve with more salsa on the side.
