Ingredients: -

  • 1 small ripe avocado
  • 1 lime
  • sea salt and freshly ground black pepper
  • 1 small tomato
  • 1 fresh green chilli
  • a small bunch of fresh coriander
  • 40g Manchego or Cheddar cheese
  • 2 large corn or flour tortillas
  • 3 spring onions
  • 3 large eggs, preferably free range or organic
  • a small knob of butter
  • optional: chilli sauce (as hot as you want!), to serve


  • Method: -

    • Halve the avocado around the stone
    • Peel and roughly chop the flesh
    • Use a fork to roughly mash the avocado with the juice if half a lime and a good pinch of salt and pepper, then put aside

    • Halve and dice the tomato
    • Deseed and finely chop the chilli
    • Pick and chop the coriander leaves (discard the stalks)
    • Grate the Manchego or Cheddar
    • Arrange all of the topping ingredients on a plate: the tomato, chilli, coriander leaves and grated cheese
    • Trim and finely slice the spring onions
    • Beat the eggs in a bowl with the spring onions and a good pinch of salt and pepper
    • Reheat the tortillas in a large hot dry pan on a medium heat for about 1 minute on each side, or until warmed through
    • Wrap them in foil to keep them warm while you get on with your eggs
    • Melt the butter in a large frying pan on a medium heat
    • Pour in the eggs
    • Lightly tip the pan as the eggs cook
    • When you see a layer forming on the bottom of the pan, sweep a rubber spatula around so you get little handkerchiefs of cooked egg surrounded by wonderful custardy egg
    • Keep an eye on it and stir gently for a minute or so until the eggs are starting to scramble, but are still loose, then turn the heat off
    • Lay one of the warm tortilla on a board
    • Top with the scrambled egg, the chopped tomato and mashed avocado, then sprinkle over your chilli, coriander and grated cheese
    • Lay the other tortilla on top and cut into four wedges
    • Drizzle over some chilli sauce, if you fancy, then cut your remaining lime half into wedges for squeezing over and tuck in
