Step 1
Heat a 12-inch skillet over medium-high. Warm tortillas directly on the burner or in the pan until lightly charred, ~30 seconds per side. Transfer to a plate.
Step 2
Add brisket to the skillet with smoked paprika and a pinch of salt. Toss until fragrant and edges crisp, ~2 minutes. Slide onto a clean plate.
Step 3
Crack eggs into the same skillet. Cook until whites set but yolks still jiggle, ~3 minutes. Season with salt and pepper.
Step 4
Divide brisket among tortillas. Top each with one egg, a spoonful of salsa, and a slice of avocado. Serve immediately.
