Egg On A Tortilla

11 ingredients
11 steps

Ingredients

  • 1 egg
  • 1 corn tortilla
  • a little coconut oil
  • 1 ounce queso fresca
  • 2 tablespoons tomatillo, or other green, salsa
  • 2 slices avocado, roughly chopped
  • 1/4 cup plain Greek yogurt
  • 1 tablespoon cilantro, minced
  • 1 pinch salt
  • sliced cherry tomatoes, optional
  • hot sauce, optional

Directions

  1. 1
    Heat a cast iron skillet over medium to medium high heat. Add your coconut oil.
  2. 2
    Once hot, add your corn tortilla.
  3. 3
    Cook the tortilla for about a minute - until it begins to color - and flip it over.
  4. 4
    Crack your egg right over the tortilla.
  5. 5
    Use your spatula to move along the edges of the tortilla, making sure the egg isn't forcing anything to stick down.
  6. 6
    To know when to flip it, just watch the egg whites - they should begin to solidify at least slightly, if not completely. The yolk itself won't be cooked when you flip it.
  7. 7
    Carefully insert your spatula under the tortilla and flip it - along with the egg - over to the other side. I find it's easy if you hold the skillet with your left hand and the spatula with your right hand, tilting the pan as needed .
  8. 8
    Cook for a few minutes, depending on how done you like your egg. I usually cook mine 3-5 minutes. Occasionally run your spatula under and around the tortilla to prevent any sticking.
  9. 9
    Once you're ready, flip the egg-tortilla onto a plate and immediately sprinkle with the crumbled queso fresco.
  10. 10
    Mix together the tomatillo salsa, Greek yogurt, cilantro, salt and avocado. Serve alongside your egg on a tortilla.
  11. 11
    Top with optional sliced cherry tomatoes and / or hot sauce.
