Prep Time: 10 mins
Cook Time: 20 mins
Total Time: 30 mins
Cuisine: Mexican
Serves: 4 servings
Ingredients
- 4 small flour tortillas
- 2 medium potatoes, diced
- 4 large eggs
- 1/2 cup shredded cheese
- 1/4 cup salsa
- 1 tablespoon olive oil
- Salt and pepper to taste
Instructions
- Wash and dice the potatoes into small, uniform cubes approximately 1/2 inch in size to ensure even cooking.
- Heat olive oil in a large skillet over medium-high heat. Add diced potatoes, spreading them in a single layer to maximize browning.
- Season potatoes with salt and pepper, stirring occasionally and cooking for 10-12 minutes until golden brown and crispy on the outside, tender on the inside.
- While potatoes are cooking, crack eggs into a bowl and whisk thoroughly until well combined and slightly frothy.
- When potatoes are done, transfer them to a plate and set aside. Keep the same skillet on medium-low heat.
- Pour whisked eggs into the skillet, using a spatula to gently scramble, folding eggs continuously to create soft, creamy curds.
- Cook eggs for 2-3 minutes until just set but still moist. Remove from heat to prevent overcooking.
- Warm flour tortillas in a separate dry skillet or briefly in the microwave for 15-20 seconds.
- Assemble tacos by dividing cooked potatoes and scrambled eggs evenly among tortillas.
- Top each taco with shredded cheese and a generous spoonful of salsa.
- Serve immediately while ingredients are hot and cheese is melting.
Tips
- Potato Perfection: Cut potatoes into uniform cubes to ensure even cooking and maximum crispiness. Use a non-stick skillet and don't overcrowd the pan.
- Egg Technique: The secret to creamy scrambled eggs is low heat and constant movement. Remove eggs from heat when they're still slightly wet to prevent overcooking.
- Cheese Hack: For extra flavor, use a blend of cheeses like cheddar and monterey jack for a more complex taste profile.
- Tortilla Pro Tip: Warm tortillas briefly to make them more pliable and enhance their flavor. A dry skillet or 15-20 seconds in the microwave works perfectly.
- Customize Your Tacos: Feel free to add additional toppings like chopped cilantro, diced onions, or a dollop of sour cream to make these tacos uniquely yours.
