Start your day with a vibrant twist on a classic breakfast staple - the Feta & Avocado Sunrise Tortilla, where the Mediterranean meets the heart of Mexico. Imagine a soft, warm tortilla cradle, layered with rich, creamy smashed avocado, infused with a zing of fresh lime, and topped with a perfectly sunny fried egg, speckled with crumbles of sharp feta cheese. This is not just a meal; it's a symphony of flavors and cultures intertwining. The sharpness of the feta, an age-old staple from Greece, contrasts beautifully with the smooth avocado, a beloved fruit of the Aztecs. The finishing squeeze of lime brings this international culinary affair to an invigorating crescendo.

Each ingredient tells a tale; the domestication of avocados dates back to 5000 BC in Central Mexico, while feta cheese has been a Greek tradition for centuries. Together, they create a dish that's steeped in history yet feels contemporary and fresh. It's a skillful balancing act between history and modern palate preferences, delivering a breakfast that's simple to prepare but rich in heritage.

1
Heat a small amount of olive oil in a non-stick frying pan over medium heat.

4
Warm the corn tortillas in a separate pan or in the microwave until they are soft and pliable.

Spread the smashed avocado evenly onto the warm tortillas.
6
Top each tortilla with a feta fried egg and season with extra salt and pepper if desired.
