Cheesy Fried Egg Taco
Servings: 4 (1 taco per
servings10 minutes
total timeIngredients
4 large eggs
2 cups (200 g) low-fat shredded mozzarella
salt and freshly-ground black pepper
4 small low-carb tortillas
½ cup (125 g) non-fat Greek yogurt 2 tbsp per taco
2 tbsp sriracha
everything bagel seasoning or crushed red pepper flakes for garnish
4 lime wedges for serving (optional)
Directions
Toast tortillas on both sides in a dry nonstick skillet over medium heat; set aside.
Spray pan with olive oil, reduce heat to medium-low. Form a mozzarella circle around the edge (tortilla-sized), leaving room for the egg in the center.
When cheese bubbles, add egg to center; season with salt and pepper.
Cover and cook on medium-low until cheese crisps, reduce heat if the cheese is browning too quickly:
For immediate eating: cook covered for 2-3 minutes until whites are set but yolk is still runny
For meal prep: cook covered 3-4 minutes until yolks are jammy (slightly firm but not hard)
Meanwhile, spread the non-fat Greek yogurt and sriracha onto the warmed tortilla and add a squeeze of lime juice. Place the mozzarella fried egg on top, sprinkle with everything bagel seasoning, or even crispy bacon if your macros allow, and enjoy!
Storage:
Store assembled tortillas in airtight containers in fridge (up to 3 days)
Reheat:
Microwave: 45-60 seconds until heated through
Air Fryer (350 F/175 C) or panini press: 3-4 minutes at until cheese and tortilla crisps up again
Add fresh squeeze of lime just before eating
