- 3 eggs
- Salt and pepper
- 1 cup Mexican blend cheese
- 1/2 jalapeño, minced (optional)
- A handful cilantro, chopped (optional)
- Canola oil, for frying
- 8 6-inch corn tortillas
- 8 slices ham
- 1 cup sour cream
- 1 tablespoon hot sauce
- 1/2 teaspoon cumin
- 1/2 teaspoon smoked paprika
Preparation
Preheat oven to 400°F.
Heat a drizzle or so of olive oil in a medium-size, nonstick skillet over medium heat. In a small bowl, whisk the eggs with a little salt and pepper then add to the pan and scramble them as they cook. Once the eggs begin to firm up, remove pan from the heat and add the cheese, minced jalapeño and cilantro (if using). Set aside.
Place the taquitos into the oven and bake for 15 minutes or until golden brown.
While the taquitos are cooking, in a small bowl, whisk together sour cream, hot sauce, 1/2 teaspoon salt, cumin and smoked paprika.
Remove the taquitos from the oven, cool slightly and serve with the dipping sauce alongside.
