Method

1. Warming the Tortillas

Start by warming your tortillas of choice in a dry pan over medium heat. This helps soften them and brings out their flavor. Heat each tortilla for about 30 seconds on each side until warm and pliable. Once they’re done, set them aside on a plate and cover lightly to keep them warm while you prep the other ingredients. This small step makes a big difference in how your tacos hold together and taste.

2. Seasoning and Heating the Chicken

Next, grab your Sprouts pre-shredded rotisserie chicken. Add it to the pan you just used for the tortillas (no need to wash it flavor bonus!). Sprinkle in about 1 teaspoon of taco seasoning and stir everything together well, letting it heat through for about 2 minutes. This will warm the chicken and infuse it with bold, smoky taco flavor. Stir occasionally to prevent it from drying out.

3. Cooking the Soft Scrambled Eggs

Crack the eggs into a small bowl and whisk them until the yolks and whites are fully combined. Heat a nonstick pan over medium-low heat and pour in the eggs. Let them sit for a few seconds, then gently pull the eggs from the edges toward the center using a spatula. Keep folding and stirring slowly this creates soft, creamy curds without overcooking. The key here is low and slow! Remove the eggs from the heat just before they’re fully set since they’ll keep cooking slightly from the residual heat.

4. Assembling the Tacos

Now it’s time to build your tacos! Place your warm tortillas on a serving plate. Start by adding a layer of the seasoned rotisserie chicken to each tortilla. Then gently pile on the soft scrambled eggs. Add sliced avocado and a handful of diced cherry tomatoes for freshness. Sprinkle with chopped cilantro and finish with a drizzle of your favorite taco sauce. Every bite should be colorful, creamy, and full of flavor.
