Soft-Scrambled Egg Tacos with Hatch Green Chile, Avocado & Sour Cream

Sometimes, the best meals happen when you’re just trying to use what you’ve got. This morning, it was a few eggs, some Hatch green chile sauce I had stashed in the fridge, one ripe avocado, and a stack of corn tortillas begging for attention. What came out was magic—a 4-taco beauty with melty scrambled eggs, warm tortillas, silky avocado, smoky chile, and a cooling swirl of sour cream to finish.
Breakfast taco heaven. No cheese needed on top. Just flavor. Balance. Comfort.

What You’ll Need (Serves 2 — Makes 4 tacos)

  • 4 eggs
  • ½ cup shredded pepper jack cheese
  • 4 corn tortillas (or 8 if you want to double up for sturdiness)
  • 1 ripe avocado, sliced
  • Sour cream
  • Kerrygold Unsalted Butter
  • Salt and pepper
Optional Garnishes: pickled red onions, cilantro, lime wedges, hot sauce

Instructions

  1. Whisk your eggs with the pepper jack cheese, salt, and pepper.
  1. Scramble low and slow in a nonstick pan with butter or oil until just set and melty.
  1. Warm your tortillas: Stack them in a damp paper towel and microwave for 30–45 seconds with a small microwave-safe cup of green chile sauce next to them to warm everything at once.
  1. Build your tacos: Spoon cheesy eggs onto each tortilla, top with avocado slices, drizzle with warm green chile sauce, and finish with a swirl of sour cream.
  1. Eat while warm. If you're using a single tortilla, eat fast—it’s worth the mess. If you're feeling fancy or want more structure, double up your tortillas for each taco.

Taco Notes:

  • One tortilla per taco = soft and perfect, but can get floppy fast.
  • Two tortillas = sturdier, street-taco style.
  • Green chile makes this—don’t skip it. The smokiness cuts the richness of the eggs just right. Tip: If your green chile sauce is too thick to drizzle, thin it with a splash of water or broth before heating.
