Instructions

Prepare Egg Mixture: In a bowl, whisk together the eggs, milk, salt, and pepper until the mixture is smooth and slightly frothy, which will help create creamy scrambled eggs.
Cook Scrambled Eggs: Heat butter in a nonstick skillet over medium-low heat. Pour the egg mixture into the skillet and gently stir with a spatula, scraping from the edges toward the center. Cook slowly for about 3–5 minutes until soft curds form and the eggs are just set but still creamy.
Warm Tortillas: While the eggs are cooking, warm the tortillas in a dry skillet or microwave until they become pliable and easy to fold.
Assemble Tacos: Remove the cooked eggs from heat. Divide the scrambled eggs evenly among the warmed tortillas. Then top each with shredded cheese, avocado slices or dices, salsa or pico de gallo, and fresh chopped cilantro.
Serve: Serve the tacos immediately, optionally topped with your choice of hot sauce or sour cream for added flavor and creaminess.

Notes

Customize your tacos with sautéed vegetables, breakfast sausage, or black beans to add extra protein and texture.
For a plant-based or dairy-free version, use dairy-free cheese and tortillas.
Cook eggs gently over low heat to keep them creamy and soft, avoiding overcooking.
Feel free to swap toppings to suit your taste preferences.
