Method
 

Preparation (Common Steps)
  1. Gather all your ingredients for the chosen recipe and prepare them as instructed.
  2. Heat a skillet or comal over medium heat; warm tortillas one at a time for about 20-30 seconds per side until soft and pliable. Keep warm by wrapping them in a clean kitchen towel.
  3. Crack eggs into a bowl, season with salt and pepper, and whisk until yolks and whites are fully combined.
Recipe 1: Classic Scrambled Egg Tacos
  1. Heat a non-stick skillet with cooking oil over medium heat, then pour in the whisked eggs and cook, stirring occasionally, until scrambled and set but still slightly moist.
  2. Remove the eggs from heat and stir in the shredded cheddar cheese until melted.
  3. Fill each warm tortilla with the cheesy scrambled eggs, top with salsa and sliced avocado, then serve immediately.
Recipe 2: Spicy Chorizo and Egg Tacos
  1. In a skillet over medium heat, cook the chorizo, breaking it up with a spoon, until fully cooked; drain excess grease, then add diced onion and minced jalapeño (if using) and cook until softened.
  2. Add the whisked eggs to the skillet with the chorizo mixture, and scramble until cooked to your desired consistency.
  3. Spoon the chorizo and egg mixture into warm tortillas, and add your favorite toppings such as cotija cheese or cilantro.
Recipe 3: Black Bean and Corn Tacos (Vegetarian)
  1. In a skillet, combine rinsed and drained black beans, corn, and a splash of water; heat over medium heat until warmed through, then mash some of the beans with a fork for texture.
  2. Cook the whisked eggs in a separate skillet until scrambled, then gently fold them into the black bean and corn mixture.
  3. Fill warm tortillas with the vegetarian mixture, garnish with fresh chopped cilantro, and serve with a dollop of sour cream or a squeeze of lime.
Recipe 4: Steak and Egg Tacos
  1. In a skillet, heat a small amount of oil over medium-high heat and sear the thinly sliced steak until cooked to your liking, then set aside; in the same skillet, sauté sliced bell pepper until tender-crisp.
  2. Scramble the whisked eggs in the skillet until just set.
  3. Assemble tacos by placing scrambled eggs, steak, and bell pepper into warm tortillas; sprinkle with crumbled feta cheese and a dash of hot sauce if desired.
