Instructions

  1. 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.

  2. 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.

  3. Step 3

    Crack eggs into the same skillet. Cook until whites set but yolks still jiggle, ~3 minutes. Season with salt and pepper.

  4. Step 4

    Divide brisket among tortillas. Top each with one egg, a spoonful of salsa, and a slice of avocado. Serve immediately.
