Ingredients
- 4 free-range eggs
- 8 tortillas
- Toasted sesame seeds and Mexican hot sauce, to serve
Charred corn salsa
- 1 poblano chilli
- 4 cobs of corn, husks and silks removed
- 1 bunch coriander, rinsed well and coarsely chopped
- 1 long red chilli, finely chopped
- ½ red onion, finely chopped
- 2 limes, juiced
- 1 tbsp olive oil
- salt and freshly ground black pepper, to taste
Avocado puree
- 2 avocados
- 2 limes, juiced
- Salt and fresh ground black pepper
Instructions
For the charred corn salsa, place the poblano chilli and corn on the barbecue, and cook, turning often, until charred all over. When cool enough to handle, remove the skin and seeds from the chilli and coarsely chop. Cut the kernels off the cobs, then combine all the ingredients in a bowl, season to taste and stir to combine.
For the avocado puree, lightly mash the avocados in a bowl, leaving some chunks for texture. Add the lime juice and season to taste.
Lightly beat the eggs together in a bowl. Heat a non-stick frying pan over high heat, add the eggs and stir for 10 seconds or until just scrambled.
Place the tortillas on the barbecue for a few seconds to warm up.
To serve, spoon a little avocado puree into each tortilla. Top with scrambled eggs, corn salsa, a sprinkle of sesame seeds and a dash of hot sauce.
Cook's tip:
Any authentic Mexican hot sauce, chili or tobacco sauce will do the trick.
