Cuisine: Mexican
Serves: 4 servings
Ingredients
- 4 small corn tortillas
- 1 ripe avocado, sliced
- 1/2 cup chimichurri sauce
- 4 eggs
- Salt and pepper to taste
- Fresh cilantro for garnish
Instructions
- Prepare all ingredients by slicing the ripe avocado into thin strips, chopping fresh cilantro, and setting out chimichurri sauce.
- Heat a non-stick skillet over medium heat and warm the corn tortillas for approximately 30 seconds on each side until they are slightly crisp and pliable. Set aside and keep warm.
- In the same skillet, crack the eggs and cook sunny-side up or to your preferred doneness. Season each egg with a pinch of salt and freshly ground black pepper.
- Assemble each taco by laying a warm corn tortilla on a plate, then carefully place a cooked egg in the center.
- Top each egg with sliced avocado, ensuring even distribution across the tortilla.
- Drizzle approximately 2 tablespoons of chimichurri sauce over each taco, allowing the vibrant green sauce to coat the egg and avocado.
- Garnish with fresh chopped cilantro leaves for added brightness and flavor.
- Serve immediately while the eggs are still warm and the tortillas are soft, enjoying the fresh, zesty combination of flavors.
Tips
- Ingredient Prep is Key: Before you start cooking, make sure to slice the avocado and chop the cilantro. Having everything ready will streamline your cooking process and ensure a smooth assembly of your tacos.
- Perfect Tortillas: Warm the corn tortillas just enough to make them pliable without overcooking. This will give them a nice texture that holds the fillings without falling apart.
- Egg Cooking Tips: For perfectly sunny-side-up eggs, keep the heat at medium to avoid overcooking the whites while ensuring the yolk remains runny. If you prefer your eggs cooked through, simply cover the skillet with a lid for a minute or two.
- Chimichurri Sauce: Feel free to adjust the amount of chimichurri sauce according to your taste. If you love that herby zing, don’t hold back!
- Garnish for Extra Flavor: Fresh cilantro adds a burst of freshness, but you can also experiment with other toppings like diced tomatoes or a sprinkle of feta cheese for an extra flavor dimension.
- Serve Immediately: These tacos are best enjoyed fresh off the skillet. Serve them right away to savor the warm tortillas and gooey eggs!
