Instructions
- Preheat oven to 350 degrees.
- Brush your seasoned cast iron skillet with 1/2 teaspoon evoo and the insides metal rings if using (for round fried eggs.) Set heat to medium. Add 4 eggs, spacing them (add to center of rings in skillet if using.) Cook for two minutes until egg whites have set (yolks will finish cooking in the oven.)

Bake in the oven for 5 - 7 minutes; or until the cheese is bubbly and the yolks are cooked to your desired doneness.

- Add your desired toppings to each taco and drizzle all over with the hot sauce.
Notes
*Tortillas: I use Vista Hermosa Corn Tortillas. They are gluten free, non GMO and organic with minimal ingredients and NO artificial preservatives. Delicious!
