Veg challenge week 1


From baby sis to big sis

This one´s from Jamie´s American cookbook. Technically I guess it´s a brekkie recipe but I recon it would float well as lunch or dinner as it´s pretty full on.

For 2 people

1 ripe avocado, pitted and chopped
juice of 2 limes
salt and pepper
1 tomato, chopped
1 green chili, finely chopped
a handful of coriander
desired amount of grated cheese, cheddar or manchego
4 corn tortillas
6 free range eggs
4 spring onions, sliced finely
large dollop of butter
chili sauce

Mash avocado with lime juice, salt and pepper.
Heat the tortillas in a dry frying pan, abt 20 seconds on each side. Wrap in aluminum foil to keep warm.
Combine the eggs, spring onions and salt and pepper. Melt the butter in a frying pan and add the egg mixture. When the eggs start to stiffen, stir so it mixes with the uncooked egg. Result should be a loosely cooked scrambled egg.
Put one tortilla on a plate, add eggs, tomatoes, coriander, cheese, chili and avocado mixture. Top with another tortilla and chili sauce. And more cheese if desired. Serve with lime wedges.

Sounds delish, huh?
