Ingredients
Method
Techniques
  • 3 whole green chilies
  • 3 tbsp red onions
  • 1 tbsp jalapeno
  • 2 tbsp cilantro
  • 3 whole eggs
Drizzle a little grapeseed oil into a blend of chili powder, cumin, dried garlic and onions, paprika and coriander.
  • grapeseed oil
  • chili powder
  • cumin
  • dried garlic
  • dried onions
  • paprika
  • coriander
  • corn tortillas
Lightly brush the seasoned oil on both sides of corn tortillas and set them in a taco baking mold.
Bake 20 minutes at 300F until super crispy, or fry into shape with a taco press.
Char the green chilies evenly all over in a very hot cast iron pan, on a grill or under a broiler.
Steam them in a bowl covered with plastic wrap until the skin loosens.
  • russet potatoes
Dice the russet potatoes into tiny even cubes, first cutting a small flat side so the potato does not roll.
  • grapeseed oil
  • thyme
  • rosemary
  • salt
  • black pepper
In a large skillet on high heat, add a splash of grapeseed oil, the potatoes, picked thyme and rosemary, a generous pinch of salt and cracked black pepper.
Crispy herb potatoes
Stir and cook 15 to 20 minutes until crispy and golden brown on all sides.
  • 1 whole tomato
Quarter the tomato and slice out the seeds and core of each quarter.
Dice the tomato petals with the red onions and the jalapeno.
  • lime juice
  • salt
Chop the cilantro and add to a bowl with a splash of lime juice and a generous pinch of salt; mix and set aside.
  • grapeseed oil
In a medium nonstick pan on medium heat, add a splash of grapeseed oil or a tablespoon of butter and crack in the eggs.
Quick scrambled eggs
  • salt
  • pepper
Cook the eggs three to four minutes while stirring, with a pinch of salt and pepper.
Fill each shell with a few scoops of potatoes, scrambled eggs and strips of the roasted green chili, peeled and partly seeded.
  • sharp cheddar cheese
Top with sharp cheddar and bake until crispy, melted and bubbling.
Move to a serving tray and top generously with the pico de gallo.
