Mexican Scrambled Egg Tacos

Recipe by Rick Bayless, Mexican Everyday

3 garlic cloves
fresh hot green chilies, stemmed, seeded and cut into 3-4 pieces
1 medium white onion roughly chopped
2 Tablespoons vegetable or olive oil
1 pound ripe tomatoes, cored and cut into 1/4-inch cubes
8 eggs, salt
1/2 cup chopped cilantro
1 ripe avocado, pitted, flesh scooped from the skin and cut into
1/4-inch pieces (optional)
12 warm corn tortillas
About 3/4 cup of your favorite (homemade?) salsa

In a food processor, chop garlic, chilies and onion. Pulse until
onion pieces are no larger than 1/4 inch. Heat oil in a very large
skillet over medium and add onion mixture. Cook stirring frequently
until starting to brown. Raise the heat to medium-high
and add the tomatoes and cook, stirring frequently until the liquid
evaporates and the oil separates out again. While the tomatoes
are cooking, whisk together eggs and salt with a fork to blend.
Pour the eggs in the skillet and cook, stirring slowly and scraping
the cooked eggs from the skillet until they are done as you like.
Scoop into a large bowl and sprinkle with cilantro and avocado if
you desire. Serve with warm tortillas and salsa to make soft tacos
