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)
Optional Garnishes: pickled red onions, cilantro, lime wedges, hot sauce
Instructions
Whisk your eggs with the pepper jack cheese, salt, and pepper.
Scramble low and slow in a nonstick pan with butter or oil until just set and melty.
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.
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.
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.
Slow-braised collards with coconut milk, ginger, and sweet potato coins that melt into the broth. Rich enough to stand alone, yet just right as the base for crispy catfish or whatever comes next in your kitchen.
A cozy, grown-up take on apple cinnamon oatmeal—steel-cut oats with applesauce, maple syrup, and toasted pine nuts. Comfort in a bowl, ready in 10 minutes with an overnight soak.
Start with garlicky toast, mashed avocado, and a jammy egg—then make it your own with bold toppings, veggies, and protein. A base recipe built to riff on.
