My Favorite Breakfast Tacos (Vegetarian Edition!)

2 taco-sized flour tortillas
2 tablespoons unsalted butter
1/4 cup or so finely diced white onion
2 eggs, well-beaten
a scant splash of cream or half and half
1/4 cup or so of freshly grated sharp white cheddar
half a ripe avocado
hot sauce

Place another skillet (ideally nonstick) over high heat and let it get quite hot. Heat your tortillas over high heat. If they are super fresh and great, that is all you need. If they are so-so grocery store tortillas, rinse them in water first and then blast them in the pan.

Once they get some color on both sides, wrap them in a kitchen towel to steam. Turn off the high heat pan.

Place a small egg pan over medium heat.

Melt the butter in the egg pan and then add the onions and a pinch of salt. Sauté them until they are softened but not browned, with just a tiny bit of bite left.

Whisk the cream or half and half into the eggs. Reduce the heat to low and add them to the pan, stirring frequently and making long swipes with a rubber spatula to make long curds in the egg.

Right when the eggs are just about cooked to your liking, stir in half of the cheddar cheese and turn off the heat, stirring it in to wilt the cheese. Season to taste with salt.

Lay the eggs onto the tortillas. Top with more cheese, and sliced avocado. Season the avocados with more salt, dash with hot sauce and eat immediately.

Fried white onions are always good. I used to put them on a salad over air fried boneless skinless chicken breasts seasoned with Mrs. Dash and and a little olive oil.

Oh man why am I watching this as I've already gone to bed for the night! Now I'm hungry! I need to get groceries tomorrow and you bet this will be on the menu for my lunch!

Love a good and tasty breakfast taco. This looks like the perfect thing for a lazy morning, but probably not when I'm a few drinks in because I don't trust drunk me with a knife.

I saw Noah and I was like, hey, it's the guy from the food videos I used to watch but I only vaguely remember them. I kind of remember them doing taste tests on ridiculous flavors of chips and fast food and making fun of it?

My cardiologist might start banning this channel if you make many more recipes like this one.
