Egg tacos
You need to first prepare scrambled eggs. Whisk four eggs and add chili powder, garlic powder, cumin powder, and salt. Since you want the eggs to be meaty, don't scramble much. Heat the taco shells as per instructions on the package. For the filling, use the cooked eggs, salsa, sliced red onions, coriander leaves, lettuce for that extra crunch, sour cream, and jalapenos.

Chicken tacos with salad
Chop some tomatoes, jalapeno, and onions and cook until they soften. Add chicken, juice of one lemon, salt, pepper, and simmer. Prepare a side salad with coriander leaves, red onion, and the remaining jalapenos, one lime juice, olive oil, cheese, and salt and pepper. Warm the tortillas and add the chicken filling to the tortillas. Serve the tacos with the jalapeno salad.
