Ingredients
Barley
- ½ cup cooked barley
Eggs and Dairy
- 3 eggs
- 1 tbsp milk
- 1 tsp butter or oil
Tortillas and Toppings
- 2 small tortillas
- ½ avocado, sliced
- Salt, to taste
- Black pepper, to taste
- Hot sauce, to taste
Instructions
- Prepare the Egg Mixture: In a bowl, whisk together the 3 eggs, 1 tablespoon of milk, salt, and pepper until fully combined and slightly frothy to ensure fluffy scrambled eggs.
- Cook Scrambled Eggs: Heat 1 teaspoon butter or oil in a skillet over medium heat. Pour in the egg mixture and cook gently, stirring continuously, until the eggs are softly set and creamy but fully cooked, about 3-4 minutes.
- Warm Tortillas: While the eggs are cooking, warm the 2 small tortillas either in a dry skillet, microwave, or oven until pliable and lightly heated to enhance flavor and flexibility.
- Assemble Tacos: Lay the warmed tortillas flat and evenly distribute the cooked barley on each. Top with the softly scrambled eggs, then add sliced avocado on top for creaminess.
- Add Final Touches: Drizzle hot sauce over the tacos as desired to add a spicy kick. Serve immediately to enjoy the warm and fresh flavors combined.
