Ingredients:
For the Tacos:
- 4 corn tortillas
- 2 ears of corn, husked
- 4 large eggs
- 1 tablespoon olive oil
- Salt and pepper to taste
For Topping:
- 1 avocado, sliced
- 1/4 cup fresh cilantro, chopped
- 1/4 cup cotija cheese or feta, crumbled
- 1 lime, cut into wedges
- Hot sauce or salsa (optional)
Instructions:
- Roast the corn: Preheat your grill or a grill pan over medium-high heat. Brush the corn with a little olive oil and grill, turning occasionally, until the kernels are charred and tender, about 10-12 minutes. Let the corn cool slightly, then cut the kernels off the cob and set aside.
- Fry the eggs: In a non-stick skillet, heat the remaining olive oil over medium heat. Crack the eggs into the skillet and cook until the whites are set but the yolks are still runny, about 3-4 minutes. Season with salt and pepper.
- Warm the tortillas: While the eggs are cooking, warm the corn tortillas in a dry skillet over medium heat for about 30 seconds per side, or until they are pliable.
- Assemble the tacos: Divide the roasted corn evenly among the warmed tortillas. Place a fried egg on top of the corn in each tortilla.
- Add toppings: Top each taco with slices of avocado, a sprinkle of fresh cilantro, and crumbled cotija or feta cheese. Serve with lime wedges and hot sauce or salsa on the side.
- Serve immediately and enjoy the vibrant flavors of these Roasted Corn and Fried Egg Tacos, perfect for any time of day!
