Heidi Swanson's Five-Minute (Egg) Breakfast Tacos

This is one of those very simple recipes that cause me to wonder, "Why didn't I think of that?"  Breakfast tacos that use smashed hard-boiled eggs and come together in about 5-minutes. I make egg tacos but usually scramble the eggs, or fry them for huevos rancheros but these are even easier and are a great way to use up bits and bobs of greens and herbs you have.

Peel a hard-boiled egg, smash it in a small bowl with a bit of yogurt or drizzle of olive oil. Heat a tortilla by throwing it down directly on a very low burner or gas flame. Flip it once or twice, until it is hot, and blistered a bit. Remove and top with the smashed egg, shredded greens, sprouts, micro greens, or chopped herbs. Add a drizzle of hot sauce or salsa. Done.

Notes/Results: I have a feeling that I will be making these often. So simple and really good. I smashed my eggs with olive oil, garlic salt and freshly-ground black pepper and used a favorite locally-made salsa, locally-grown baby micro-green mix and fresh cilantro. I grilled my taco shells on my gas stove burner and was good to go. Avocado would be nice mixed in too--the stores just didn't have good ones this week. Simple, satisfying, and delicious!
