Mexican Scrambled Egg Tacos (Tacos de Huevos Revueltos a la Mexicana) Recipe
- 3 garlic cloves, peeled
- Fresh hot green chiles to taste (I like 2 serranos or 1 jalapeno), stemmed, seeded, if you wish, and each cut into 3 or 4 pieces
- 1 medium white onion, roughly chopped
- 2 tablespoons vegetable or olive oil, fresh pork lard or bacon or chorizo drippings
- 1 pound (2 medium-large round or 5 to 7 plum) ripe tomatoes, cored and cut into 1/4-inch cubes
- 8 eggs
- Salt
- 1/2 to 2/3 cup (loosely packed) chopped cilantro
- 1 ripe avocado, pitted, flesh scooped from the skin and cut into 1/4-inch pieces (optional)
- 12 warm corn tortillas, store-bought or homemade
- About 3/4 cup roasted tomatillo salsa, or bottled salsa or hot sauce, for serving
- With a food processor or blender running, drop in the garlic and chiles one piece at a time, letting each piece get finely chopped before adding the next.
- Stop the food processor (or blender) and add the onion, then pulse until most of the onion pieces are no longer than 1/4 inch.
- Heat the oil (or its alternative) in a very large (12-inch) skillet, preferably nonstick, over medium.
- Add the onion mixture and cook, stirring regularly, until starting to brown, about 4 to 5 minutes.
- Raise the heat to medium-high and add the tomatoes.
- Cook, stirring frequently, until all of the tomato liquid evaporates and the oil separates out again, about 4 minutes.
- While the tomatoes are cooking, crack the eggs into a bowl and add 1 teaspoon salt.
- With a fork, beat the eggs just enough to roughly blend the whites and yolks.
- Pour the eggs into the skillet and cookslowly stirring and scraping up the cooked eggs from the bottom of the skilletuntil the eggs are done as you like.
- Scoop into a serving bowl and sprinkle with the cilantro and optional avocado.
- Serve with the warm tortillas and salsa or hot sauce for making soft tacos.
