Serves3
Ingredients
- For the taco shells:
- 1 cup full-fat cottage cheese
- 2 large egg whites
- 1/2 tsp garlic powder
- 1/4 tsp smoked paprika
- Pinch of salt
- For the filling:
- 4 large eggs
- 1 ripe avocado, sliced
- 1/4 cup shredded cheddar cheese
- 2 tbsp chopped fresh chives
- Hot sauce, to taste
- 1/2 cup salsa
- Fresh cilantro for garnish
- Lime wedges for serving
Instructions
- 1. Preheat oven to 400 degrees F. Line a large baking sheet with parchment paper.
- 2. In a blender, combine cottage cheese, egg whites, garlic powder, smoked paprika, and salt. Blend until completely smooth, about 30 seconds.
- 3. Scoop about 2 tablespoons of the batter onto the parchment paper and spread into a 5-inch circle. Repeat to make 6 circles, leaving space between each.
- 4. Bake for 20-25 minutes until the edges are golden and the centers are set but still flexible.
- 5. Remove from oven and let cool for 2 minutes, then gently peel off the parchment. While still warm, drape each shell over a spoon handle or the edge of a bowl to form a taco shape. Let cool completely to hold shape.
- 6. While shells cool, scramble the eggs in a skillet over medium-low heat until just set. Season with salt and pepper.
- 7. Fill each cottage cheese taco shell with scrambled eggs, avocado slices, shredded cheese, chives, salsa, and hot sauce.
- 8. Garnish with fresh cilantro and serve with lime wedges.
