Tacos de Huevos Revueltos a la Mexican~ Mexican Scrambled Egg Tacos

 I’m not sure I told any of you this…but I love breakfast.  By far it is my favorite meal of the day in particular eggs; I would eat them every morning if only the cholesterol meter would let me.  I usually find myself having egg-white omelets or cereal during the week, saving up for a “treat” on the weekends with my wife.  We usually for-go the “rules” one day a week, and that day is almost always Sunday.

This recipe is perfect for those leisurely Sunday mornings.  It took me a total time of around 20-25 minutes, with little clean up.  Two pans one for the eggs, one for warming tortillas, and finally your blender or food processor.  Perfect; I do not like to start the day with a big cleaning project, or for that matter I don’t want to clean anything on Sunday.

Ingredients

Garlic- 3 cloves (peeled)
Serrano chiles- 2 (steamed, cut into 3-4 pieces)
White Onion- 1 medium (medium diced)
Bacon Fat- 2 tbsp (butter, lard, olive oil is all fine)
Eggs- 8Salt- to taste
Cilantro- ½ cup (chopped)
Avocado-1 (cubed, ¼ inch pieces)
Tortillas- 12 (warmed)
Tomatoes- 1 pound (cored, chopped) I did not use tomatoes.

Method to the Madness

1)      With a food processor running, drop in the garlic and chiles one at a time, letting each piece get finely chopped before adding the next. Stop the food processor and add the onion, then pulse until most of the onion pieces are no larger than ¼ inch thick.

2)      Heat the oil (or whatever you are using) in a large skillet (12 inch) over medium heat. Add the onion mixture and cook, stirring regularly, until starting to brown 4-5 minutes. Raise the heat to medium-high add the tomatoes cook, stirring frequently, until all liquid evaporates, about 4 minutes.

3)      While the tomatoes are cooking, crack the eggs in a mixing bowl add a tsp of salt and whisk.

4)      Add the eggs to the skillet and cook, slowly stirring and scraping up the cooked eggs from the bottom of the skillet- until eggs are as done as you like. Scoop them into a serving platter and sprinkle with the cilantro and avocado. Serve them with the warm tortillas and salsa or hot sauce for making soft tacos.

5)      ENJOY!!
P.S. Go Bears!!!!
