Ingredients
Yellow Tomato Salsa
1 large yellow tomato,
diced
3 tablespoons diced red
onion
3 tablespoons chopped
cilantro
½ to 1 serrano pepper,
thinly sliced
1 garlic clove, minced
juice from ½ lime
¼ teaspoon sea salt
For the tacos:
1 green pepper, cored,
stem removed, and diced
3 scallions, chopped
6 eggs, beaten
2 cups arugula or
spinach, chopped
extra-virgin olive oil,
for drizzling
sea salt and freshly
ground black pepper
8 tortillas (corn, flour,
wheat - whatever you like)
¼ cup chopped cilantro, more
for garnish
1 avocado, sliced
lime wedges.
Method
Make the Yellow Tomato
Salsa: In a small bowl, combine the tomato, onion, cilantro, serrano, garlic,
lime juice and salt. Chill until ready to use.
In a small nonstick
skillet, heat a drizzle of olive oil over medium heat. Add the green pepper,
scallions and a pinch of salt and pepper and sauté until lightly browned, about
5 minutes. Scoop a large spoonful of the salsa into the pepper mixture and stir.
Remove from the heat and set aside.
Brush a large nonstick
stick skillet lightly with olive oil and bring to medium heat. Add the eggs,
let them cook for a few seconds and then stir. Add the green pepper mixture to
the eggs. Continue to stir and scramble the eggs until just set. Remove from
the pan from the heat while the eggs are slightly runny and stir in the arugula
and half of the extra cilantro.
Assemble the tacos with the
egg mixture, a scoop of salsa, the remaining cilantro and a few slices of avocado.
Finish with a squeeze of lime and a pinch of salt and pepper, if desired.
Garnish with cilantro and serve with lime wedges.
