Believe it or not, I am still working my way through leftovers from my fish taco dinner party last week. Corn tortillas, avocados, cotija cheese, Mexican crema, and cilantro abound in my refrigerator.
Since a key element in being a successful BrokeAss in the kitchen is turning leftovers into culinary masterpieces, I relished creating this alternative to the breakfast burrito. All you need is a little cinnamon coffee and some friends for the ultimate breakfast fiesta.
Note: if you want to add additional protein, fry a little crumbled chorizo (veggie or regular) to add to the tacos.

Directions
Heat olive oil in a large frying pan over medium-high heat. Cook eggs to desired done-ness (I prefer over-medium, as over-easy results in a very runny taco).
Heat a dry frying pan over medium-high heat. Warm tortillas until pliable and hot. Arrange on plates.
Mash the avocado in a small bowl. Add the jalapeno, garlic, and half of the onion and half of the avocado. Season with salt and pepper to taste.
To assemble tacos, place a cooked egg on each tortilla. Top with the guacamole, a little sour cream or crema, cheese, onions and cilantro. Pass a bottle of your favorite hot sauce at the table for those who like it extra-spicy.
Makes 6 tacos.
