Ina Garten Breakfast Tacos

Ina Garten Breakfast Tacos

Ina’s version features her signature low-and-slow scrambled eggs tucked into warm corn tortillas with cheese, scallions, avocado, and hot sauce. The recipe serves 4 generously and can easily be doubled for a crowd.

Ingredients

Scale
  • 1½ tablespoons unsalted butter
  • 8 extra-large eggs
  • Kosher salt and freshly ground black pepper
  • 8 white corn tortillas (6-inch)
  • 8 ounces Monterey Jack cheese, grated
  • 2 ripe avocados, halved, peeled, and sliced
  • 6 scallions, white and green parts, thinly sliced
  • Chipotle hot sauce, such as Cholula or your favorite

Instructions

  • Warm the tortillas – Heat tortillas in a dry skillet or microwave until soft and pliable; wrap in a towel to keep warm.
  • Prepare the eggs – Crack eggs into a bowl, season generously with salt and pepper, and whisk lightly.
  • Scramble low and slow – Melt butter in a large non-stick skillet over medium-low heat. Add eggs and cook, stirring gently every 30 seconds, until just set but still creamy (about 8 minutes).
  • Assemble tacos – Place a warm tortilla on each plate, spoon scrambled eggs down the center, and top with grated Monterey Jack, avocado slices, and sliced scallions.
  • Finish and serve – Drizzle with chipotle hot sauce and serve immediately while everything is hot.
