Step 1: Eggs ... I'm sure we all have our favorite method for making hard boiled eggs. Bring a pot of salted water up to a light boil (not a rolling boil); and, slowly add the eggs. Cook, just a minute, cover; and, turn off the heat. Then, 13 minutes later, your eggs are done. Rinse under cold water until cool enough to handle; then, peel your eggs. I would definitely made these ahead; then, dice when needed.
Step 2: Now, I saw the guys in the food truck; and, they used an 'old school' egg slicer. They put them in one way to slice. Turned them around; and, sliced the other way. Obviously, you can dice them any way you want.
Step 3: Avocado Salsa... Add the avocado, lime juice, scallions and cilantro to a small bowl and lightly toss to combine. NO oil, NO mashing; just a light fresh flavor. I did notice a little heat when I first had them; I couldn't tell what they used ... but, I think it was a pinch of red pepper flakes. You can add that if you want.
Step 4: Salsa Verde and Tortillas ... Simply warm up the salsa verde in the microwave or stove top. Now, you can make your own; but, there are several decent store brands available. For the Tortillas - I like to grill mine; then, keep them warm. You can grill on an outdoor grill, indoor grill pan, or saute pan; even on an open gas stove. Once they are lightly charred, wrap in foil to keep warm. Warm tortillas are a must for this dish.
Step 5: Tacos ... How to build your taco - a little lettuce in the warm tortilla, eggs, cheese, warm salsa verde, avocado salsa; a little more lettuce; and, in honor of the food truck ... a jumbo black olive cut in half.
Step 6: Serve and ENJOY! ... The food truck served 2 of them with a cup of local fresh fruit. I think these would be fun for a Mexican breakfast. Some grilled Mexican chorizo, fruit salad; and Bloody Marias of course.
Step 7: Note: Totally Different - but, Totally Delicious!
