Ingredients
Scale
- 2 medium potatoes, peeled and diced
- 1 tablespoon olive oil
- Salt and pepper, to taste
- 4 large eggs
- 1/2 cup shredded cheddar cheese (or your preferred cheese)
- 4 small flour tortillas
- 1 tablespoon butter (for cooking eggs)
- Optional toppings: Salsa, avocado, sour cream, hot sauce, chopped cilantro
Instructions
- Prepare the potatoes: Heat the olive oil in a large skillet over medium heat. Add the diced potatoes and season with salt and pepper. Cook, stirring occasionally, for about 10-12 minutes, until the potatoes are crispy and golden brown. Remove from the skillet and set aside.
- Scramble the eggs: In the same skillet, melt the butter over medium-low heat. Crack the eggs into a bowl, whisk them, and pour into the skillet. Gently scramble the eggs until they are fully cooked but still soft and creamy. Remove from heat and set aside.
- Assemble the tacos: Warm the flour tortillas in a dry skillet or microwave for a few seconds until soft.
- Fill the tacos: Place a portion of the crispy potatoes in the center of each tortilla. Top with a generous spoonful of scrambled eggs, followed by a sprinkle of shredded cheese.
- Serve: Top with your favorite toppings such as salsa, sliced avocado, sour cream, or chopped cilantro. Serve immediately while the cheese is still melted and the potatoes are crispy.
Notes
- You can use any type of cheese you like, such as Monterey Jack or queso fresco, for a different flavor.
- For a spicier version, add some jalapeños or hot sauce to the eggs or taco filling.
- Make it a vegetarian taco by skipping the meat and adding more vegetables, such as peppers or onions.
