This is more of a knife-and-fork taco. The soft egg yolk oozes and coats the filling.

We had this for dinner last night and I prepared it as written minus cilantro. Holy cow! So delicious and easy. I agree that is is more of an item to eat with a fork and knife as it was messy. Definitely a two napkin deal! Will do for breakfast sometime also. Yummy!

Made to directions with flour tortillas & poached eggs. Using leftover black refried beans and avocado pico de gallo (from last night's carne asada tacos) made for a very easy brunch.

The family liked these a lot - but we all agree...next time we scramble the eggs.

Quick and easy prep - delicious results!! Used salsa in place of the pico. It is officially in the monthly recipe rotation!

Quick, easy, very good. We used fat free greek yogurt (which to me tastes a bit like sour cream), and it's a bit healthier.

Made "breakfast for dinner" tonight for meatless Monday. Followed recipe almost exactly just using bottled salsa in place of pico de gallo and added scallions. More filling than we had expected, easy to prepare and a nice change of pace for dinner. Will add to the Sunday brunch repertoire when visitors stay for the weekend.
