Ingredients

• 6 large Eggs
• 6 slices Ham
• 4 medium Tomatillos
• 1 cup Cilantro leaves
• 1 medium Jalapeño
• 2 cloves Garlic
• 0.5 medium White onion
• 1 large Lime
• 1 medium Avocado
• 1 teaspoon Salt
• 1 tablespoon Olive oil
• 0.5 teaspoon Pepper
• 0.25 cup Cotija cheese (optional)
• 6 pieces Corn tortillas

Directions

Step 1

Preheat a skillet over medium heat and add the olive oil.

Step 2

Peel the tomatillos and rinse them under warm water to remove any sticky residue. Cut the tomatillos into quarters.

Step 3

Dice the jalapeño, white onion, and garlic into small pieces.

Step 4

In the skillet, sauté the tomatillos, jalapeño, onion, and garlic until softened and slightly charred, about 5-7 minutes.

Step 5

Transfer the sautéed vegetables to a blender. Add the cilantro, juice of one lime, salt, and pepper. Blend until smooth to create the green sauce. Set aside.

Step 6

Crack the eggs into a medium bowl and whisk until fully blended.

Step 7

Clean the skillet and return it to the stove over medium heat. Lightly grease the skillet with a little olive oil if needed.

Step 8

Pour the whisked eggs into the skillet and cook, stirring gently, until the scrambled eggs reach your desired consistency. Stir in 3-4 tablespoons of the green sauce to give the eggs a vibrant green color.

Step 9

In another skillet or griddle, heat the ham slices until they are warmed through and slightly browned, about 2 minutes per side.

Step 10

Warm the corn tortillas in the same skillet or directly over a flame on a gas stove until pliable.

Step 11

To serve, divide the green eggs and ham among the warmed tortillas. Top with sliced avocado, a drizzle of remaining green sauce, and a sprinkle of Cotija cheese if using.

Step 12

Serve immediately and enjoy your Green Eggs and Ham Mexican Style!
