Meanwhile, add 4-8 taco size tortillas to a tortilla warmer or wrap with a damp, clean kitchen towel. Warm in the microwave for about 1 minute.
Serve tacos with any toppings you like such as shredded lettuce, salsa, guacamole, or hot sauce (for the adults.

Notes

Use more or less eggs and tortillas as desired.

For kids under about 2, it may be easier for them to chew the tortillas if warm and cut into thin strips.

Add a sprinkle of salt and cumin for more flavor.

Add a side of fruit and warmed beans to make this more substantial.
