Ingredients

Servings4

Yields 4 servings

  • (8) large eggs
  • (1/4 cups) milk
  • (1/2 teaspoons) salt
  • (1/4 teaspoons) black pepper
  • (2 tablespoons) butter
  • (8) small corn tortillas
  • (1 cup) diced tomatoes
  • (1/2 cups) diced onion
  • (1/4 cups) chopped cilantro
  • (1) jalapeño, finely chopped
  • (1/2 teaspoons) lime juice
  • (1 cup) shredded cheddar cheese

Instructions

  1. 1

    In a bowl, whisk together 8 large eggs, 1/4 cup milk, 1/2 teaspoon salt, and 1/4 teaspoon black pepper until well combined. Add 2/4 teaspoon salt.

  2. 2

    In a non-stick skillet, melt 2 tablespoons butter over medium heat. Pour in the egg mixture and cook, stirring gently, until the eggs are just set, about 5-7 minutes.

  3. 3

    While the eggs are cooking, prepare the salsa by combining 1 cup diced tomatoes, 1/2 cup diced onion, 1/4 cup chopped cilantro, 1 jalapeño (finely chopped), and 1/2 teaspoon lime juice in a bowl. Mix well and set aside.

  4. 4

    Warm the 8 small corn tortillas in a dry skillet over medium heat for about 30 seconds on each side, or until pliable.

  5. 5

    To assemble the tacos, place a portion of scrambled eggs on each tortilla, top with the fresh salsa, and sprinkle with 1 cup shredded cheddar cheese.
