• 0.25 teaspoon black pepper
• 8 small flour tortillas
• 1 cup romaine lettuce, shredded

Step 1

Place the eggs in a medium pot and cover with water. Bring the water to a boil, then reduce the heat to low and simmer for 10 minutes.

Step 5

Warm the tortillas in a dry skillet over medium heat for about 30 seconds on each side or until pliable. Alternatively, wrap them in a damp paper towel and microwave for 20-30 seconds.

Step 6

To assemble the tacos, place a small handful of shredded romaine lettuce on each tortilla. Top with a generous scoop of the Tex Mex egg salad.

Drizzle with hot sauce, if desired, and fold the tortillas to close.
