Ingredients
Scale
Tortillas
- 2 cups masa harina (Base for tortillas)
- 1 cup beetroot juice (For color and flavor)
- 1 teaspoon salt
Scrambled Eggs
- 6 large eggs (Whisk until frothy)
- 2 tablespoons butter (For cooking eggs)
- Salt, to taste
- Pepper, to taste
Toppings
- 1 large avocado (Ripe, for creaminess)
- 1/2 cup feta cheese (Crumble before serving)
- 1 cup fresh vegetables for salsa (Recommended: tomatoes and bell peppers)
Instructions
- Prepare the Tortilla Dough: In a bowl, combine 2 cups masa harina with 1 cup beetroot juice and 1 teaspoon salt. Knead the mixture until smooth and pliable, forming a pink-hued dough.
- Shape and Cook Tortillas: Divide the dough into small balls, then flatten each ball into a thin tortilla shape. Heat a dry skillet over medium-high heat and cook each tortilla for 1-2 minutes on each side until cooked through and slightly charred spots appear.
- Make Scrambled Eggs: Whisk 6 large eggs until frothy. In a separate pan, melt 2 tablespoons of butter over medium-low heat, then pour in the eggs. Stir gently and cook slowly until the eggs are soft, fluffy, and fully set. Season with salt and pepper to taste.
- Assemble Tacos: Lay the warm pink corn tortillas flat, spoon the scrambled eggs evenly onto each, then top with sliced ripe avocado, crumbled feta cheese, and a generous portion of fresh vegetable salsa made from tomatoes and bell peppers.
- Serve: Serve the breakfast tacos immediately while the tortillas and eggs are warm for the best flavor and texture.
Notes
- Beetroot juice not only adds vibrant color but also a subtle sweetness to the tortillas.
- Use fresh, ripe avocado for the creamiest texture in the tacos.
- Customize the vegetable salsa with your favorite fresh vegetables or add cilantro and lime juice for extra zing.
- If masa harina dough feels dry, add a tablespoon of water gradually until pliable.
- Tortillas can be kept warm wrapped in a clean kitchen towel until serving.
