Instructions

  1. Prepare the smoky roasted vegetables: slice bell peppers, zucchini, and jalapeño into thin strips halve cherry tomatoes. In a large bowl, toss with olive oil, garlic, chili powder, paprika, cumin, salt, and pepper. Spread onto a baking sheet and roast in the oven until tender and slightly charred. Prepare the avocado crema: mash ripe avocados with Greek yogurt or sour cream, lime juice, and chopped cilantro leaves. Season to taste with salt and pepper. Scramble eggs in a non stick pan over medium heat until set but still tender. To assemble the tacos, warm corn tortillas in a dry skillet or on a griddle. Layer scrambled eggs, roasted vegetables, and avocado crema onto each tortilla. Garnish with extra cilantro leaves, a squeeze of lime juice, and a drizzle of hot sauce if desired.
