Description
Start your day with these cheesy breakfast egg tacos – fluffy scrambled eggs, melty cheddar cheese, and warm tortillas come together in a quick, satisfying, and endlessly customizable meal.
Ingredients
- Large Eggs: 4 – The heart of the dish, providing richness and protein.
- Shredded Cheddar Cheese: 1 cup – Adds creamy, tangy flavor and that signature melt.
- Milk: 2 tablespoons – Helps make the eggs light and tender.
- Salt: 1/4 teaspoon – Enhances the natural flavors of the eggs and cheese.
- Black Pepper: 1/8 teaspoon – Adds a gentle kick and balance.
- Butter: 1 tablespoon – Gives the eggs a silky, luscious texture.
- Small Flour Tortillas: 4 – Soft, pliable, and perfect for wrapping up all the goodness.
- Fresh Chives: 1 tablespoon (chopped) – For a pop of color and subtle oniony flavor.
- Salsa or Hot Sauce (optional): To taste – Brings brightness and spice to every bite.
Instructions
- Preheat Your Equipment: Place a nonstick skillet over medium-low heat and allow it to warm up while you prep your ingredients.
- Combine Ingredients: In a mixing bowl, whisk together the eggs, milk, salt, and black pepper until smooth and slightly frothy.
- Prepare Your Cooking Vessel: Melt the butter in the preheated skillet, swirling to coat the pan evenly.
- Assemble the Dish: Pour in the egg mixture and gently stir with a spatula, slowly folding the eggs until they begin to set. Sprinkle half of the shredded cheese over the eggs and continue cooking until the cheese melts into the eggs.
- Cook to Perfection: Warm the tortillas on a separate skillet or directly over a flame until soft and slightly charred.
- Finishing Touches: Spoon the cheesy scrambled eggs into each tortilla, sprinkle with remaining cheese, fresh chives, and a dash of salsa or hot sauce if using.
- Serve and Enjoy: Fold, serve warm, and enjoy the melty, eggy, cheesy goodness in every bite!
Notes
- Use room-temperature eggs for fluffier results.
- Add cheese during and after cooking for the best melt.
- Keep tortillas warm in a clean towel while assembling.
