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 (8g) fresh cilantro, chopped
- 2 tsp fresh lime juice
- 1 large egg
- 4 large egg whites
- 1 tbsp olive oil
- 1/2 tsp hot sauce

Directions
Preheat oven to 200ºF (93ºC).
Wrap the tortillas in foil and warm in the preheated oven while you prepare the filling.
To make the salsa: In a medium bowl, combine the tomatoes, jalapeño, green onion, cilantro and lime juice. Stir to mix. Set aside.
To make the eggs: 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 add olive oil. Once hot, add the egg mixture and scramble, turning with a spatula as it cooks. When cooked through, season with hot sauce.
To assemble the tacos: Place 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.
