LOCATION

Directions

  • 1 In medium bowl, beat eggs and 3/4 cup of the cooking sauce** with whisk until well mixed. Stir in green onions.
  • 2 In 10-inch nonstick skillet, melt butter over medium heat just until butter begins to sizzle. Pour egg mixture into skillet. As mixture begins to set at bottom and side, gently lift cooked portions with spatula so that thin, uncooked portion can flow to bottom. Avoid constant stirring. Cook 3 to 4 minutes or until eggs are thickened throughout but still moist.
  • 3 Meanwhile, heat taco shells as directed on package. Spoon about 1/4 cup of the egg mixture and 2 tablespoons cheese into each taco shell. Top with avocado, salsa and sour cream.

I do believe that Avocado was listed, under Garnish, and as far as calorie content it is something you can find in most food sites, probably this site included. Granted, it would have been handy to have been included here. Additionally avocado is one of thgose things, being listed in the garnish section that is as much or as little to taste. Myself I don't like avocado. As to serving size, myself, being a bear sized man, would most likely list serving size as a sample, I would not be satisfied unless I had three to five servings (probably why I am so big and tall, 6'6" amd large frame).
