Blackened Jalapenos with Eggs and Cheese
- 6 tablespoons unsalted butter
- 10 large eggs, whisked together
- 4 ounces grated or shredded jalapeno jack cheese (about 1 cup)
- 6 jalapeno chiles, stemmed, dry-roasted (page 154), and coarsely chopped
- 8 (5 1/2-inch) soft yellow corn tortillas (page 13), for serving
- Garnish: Chopped fresh cilantro leaves, lime wedges
- Preheat a large, heavy skillet over medium-low heat.
- Melt the butter, then pour in the eggs immediately after.
- Cook the eggs until they are done, but not dry, gently stirring and turning them over with a wooden spatula to cook evenly, about 6 minutes.
- Fold in the cheese and chiles during the final minute of cooking.
- Remove from the heat and eat right away.
- To serve, lay the tortillas side by side, open face and overlapping on a platter.
- Divide the egg mixture equally between the tortillas and top with salsa.
- Sprinkle with chopped cilantro and a squeeze of lime juice.
- Grab, fold, and eat right away.
- Or build your own taco: lay a tortilla, open face, in one hand.
- Spoon on some egg mixture, then top with salsa, a sprinkling of cilantro, and a squeeze of lime juice.
- Fold and eat right away.
