Serves: 4 servings
Ingredients
- 8 corn tortillas
- 4 eggs
- 1 cup salsa verde
- 1/2 cup crumbled queso fresco
- 1 avocado, sliced
- Cilantro for garnish
- Salt to taste
Instructions
- Begin by gathering all your ingredients: 8 corn tortillas, 4 eggs, 1 cup of salsa verde, 1/2 cup of crumbled queso fresco, 1 sliced avocado, cilantro for garnish, and salt to taste.
- In a medium-sized skillet, heat a small amount of oil over medium heat. Once hot, add the corn tortillas one at a time, warming them for about 30 seconds on each side until they are soft and pliable. Remove the tortillas from the skillet and set them aside on a plate, covering them with a clean kitchen towel to keep warm.
- In the same skillet, crack the 4 eggs directly into the pan. Season them with a pinch of salt. Cook the eggs sunny-side up for about 3-4 minutes, or until the whites are set but the yolks are still runny. If you prefer your eggs cooked more thoroughly, you can flip them and cook for an additional minute.
- While the eggs are cooking, warm the salsa verde in a small saucepan over low heat. Stir occasionally until heated through, which should take about 3-5 minutes.
- To assemble the tacos, place a warm tortilla on a plate. Gently place one cooked egg on top of the tortilla.
- Drizzle a generous amount of warm salsa verde over the egg, allowing it to soak into the tortilla.
- Sprinkle crumbled queso fresco on top of the salsa verde, followed by a few slices of avocado.
- Garnish with fresh cilantro leaves for added flavor and color.
- Repeat the assembly process for the remaining tortillas, eggs, and toppings until all tacos are prepared.
- Serve the Huevos Verdes Breakfast Tacos immediately while warm, and enjoy your delicious Mexican breakfast!
Tips
- Use fresh, high-quality corn tortillas and warm them gently to prevent cracking.
- For the best flavor, use homemade or authentic salsa verde if possible.
- Cook eggs sunny-side up to maintain a runny yolk that creates a delicious sauce when mixed with the salsa.
- Don't skip the queso fresco - its crumbly texture adds a crucial authentic touch.
- Warm your plates beforehand to keep the tacos hot and prevent the tortillas from getting soggy.
- Experiment with additional toppings like pickled jalapeños or a dash of hot sauce for extra kick.
- Serve immediately after preparation to enjoy the perfect texture and temperature.
