I LOVE breakfast tacos and this recipe is a great way to enjoy a lot of those late summer veggies!

2 to 3 poblano peppers, halved, cored, and chopped
2 red onions, peeled and chopped
1 ear of corn, shucked, kernels stripped from cob
1 tablespoon olive oil
kosher salt to taste
1 lime, halved
1/2 cup cilantro, roughly chopped, or more to taste
hot sauce or red pepper flakes, optional
1 avocado, diced, optional
FOR THE EGG TACOS (FOR 2 SMALL TACOS):
2 small tortillas
dab of butter
2 eggs, well beaten
queso fresco, crumbled, or other cheese, optional
Preheat the oven to 450ºF. (Use convection roast is you wish.)
Place diced poblanos, red onions, and corn in a large bowl. Drizzle in the tablespoon of olive oil. Season generously with kosher salt. Toss to combine then spread on a large sheet pan, lined with parchment for easy cleaning. (Reserve the bowl.) Roast until vegetables are beginning to char, 15 to 20 minutes. Let the vegetables cool briefly, then transfer to the reserved bowl.
Squeeze a little lime over the vegetables. Add in the cilantro, and toss. Taste. Adjust with more lime, salt, and cilantro to taste. Add the avocado, if using. If you want some heat, add a splash of hot sauce or a pinch of pepper flakes. Mix and taste again: I often adjust with a splash more olive oil, lime, salt, and sometimes a splash of vinegar, too. Set salsa aside.
Warm tortillas as you wish and set on a plate.
Heat an 8-inch nonstick pan over medium-high heat. Add the dab of butter and immediately pour the eggs into it as it melts. Season with a pinch of salt. Let eggs set for 15 seconds or so, then turn heat to low, and, using a spatula, stir the eggs constantly till they’re done — they will likely be cooked in less than a minute. I often remove the pan from the heat, while continuing to stir with my spatula till they looked cooked to my liking.
Immediately divide the scrambled eggs among the two tortillas. Spoon salsa over top. Top with cheese if desired.
