Breakfast Tacos w/ Chile Roasted Tomatoes, Caramelized Onions & Crispy Garlic, and Goat Cheese.


Prep time: 5-10 min
Cook time: 30 min
Yield: 6 tacos 

Ingredients:
3 Roma tomatoes cut in half
Chile powder
Kosher salt
Fresh ground pepper
Grapeseed oil
Butter
Goat cheese
3 cups Spring or herb mix
6 corn tortillas 
1 medium sized onion halved & thinly sliced
2 lg clove garlic finely chopped
1 Finely sliced green onion
3 tbs chopped fresh or dried cilantro
1 large lime, halved, 1 half reserved & other sliced in thin wedges
1/4 cup sugar
5-6 eggs for scrambling

Preheat oven to 450°, line a sheet pan with parchment paper. Drizzle tomatoes with oil, rub to distribute. Sprinkle generously with chile powder, kosher salt and pepper. Roast on top rack of oven for 20-30 minutes till aromatic and spoonable.

Heat 1 tbsp oil and a 1 tbsp of butter over medium heat in skillet, stir in onions and garlic till separated and coated, sprinkle in sugar and a couple pinches of kosher salt. Let it caramelize and stir every couple minutes. Turn pan off & remove from heat when nice & brown and lightly crispy.
Meanwhile scramble eggs in butter in separate pan, store in covered dish to keep warm.
Heat a dry cast iron skillet if you have one to medium and heat corn tortillas in a single layer on each side till puffy and soft and ever so slightly toasted, store in covered dish to keep warm ( I have an oval dish with a cover and use the same one with eggs on one side and tortillas on the other).

Dress greens with juice of lime half, layer greens, eggs, tomatoes, onions & goat cheese atop tortillas.
Sprinkle with cilantro & green onions, serve with lime wedges.

Yummy!
