Egg Tacos

Egg Tacos 
with Refried Beans & Sliced Avocado

Eggs are an almost daily feature in our lives. For me, usually eaten in a tortilla, for Andrei, usually served alongside bacon. In Tanzania, fresh eggs were delivered to our doorstep by mayai touts on bicycle, as depicted in Sarah Markes' compelling Dar sketch series. I viscerally missed tortillas the 2 years we lived in Tanzania and I now appreciate ready access them. These egg 'tacos' make for a great weekend brunch offering or even an easy week night dinner.
