This fried egg taco idea is all the rage on TikTok right now and with good reason. It’s fast to make and actually very delicious. There are many variations of the recipe, but I thought it was important to walk through the “hack” and discuss why it’s a successful recipe and also give a sure-fire version you can make at home.

Ingredients
●1 tablespoon vegetable oil
●2 (6-inch) corn tortillas
●2 large eggs
●1/4 cup cheddar cheese, grated
●Kosher salt and freshly ground black pepper, to taste
●2 tablespoons salsa, for garnish
●1/2 avocado, thinly sliced, for garnish
●Cilantro leaves, for garnish
Method
1.Cook the tortilla:
In a large skillet over medium heat, add the vegetable oil and coat the pan. Then add the corn tortillas. Let them cook for 10 seconds, then flip. Let tortillas cook alone in the pan for 4-5 minutes until they are starting to get brown on the bottom and crispy.
2.Add the eggs:
Carefully crack an egg on top of each tortilla in the skillet. Cover the skillet and cook for two minutes. Remove the lid and add cheese around the eggs. Some will probably get on the skillet and that’s okay but try to keep most of it on the tortillas.
Add one tablespoon of water to the skillet, cover, and cook for another 60-90 seconds. The tacos are ready when the cheese is melted and the eggs are set but the yolks are still slightly runny.
3.Season the tacos and garnish:
Use a good spatula to remove each taco from the skillet. Season with a pinch of salt and pepper and top with salsa, avocado, and cilantro.
Serve immediately while warm!
