INSTRUCTIONS:

1. Roast the corn: Preheat your grill or a grill pan over medium-high heat. Brush the corn with a little olive oil and grill, turning occasionally, until
the kernels are charred and tender, about 10-12 minutes. Let the corn cool slightly, then cut the kernels off the cob and set aside.
2. Fry the eggs: In a non-stick skillet, heat the remaining olive oil over medium heat. Crack the eggs into the skillet and cook until the whites are set
but the yolks are still runny, about 3-4 minutes. Season with salt and pepper.
3. Warm the tortillas: While the eggs are cooking, warm the corn tortillas in a dry skillet over medium heat for about 30 seconds per side, or until they
are pliable.
4. Assemble the tacos: Divide the roasted corn evenly among the warmed tortillas. Place a fried egg on top of the corn in each tortilla.
5. Add toppings: Top each taco with slices of avocado, a sprinkle of fresh cilantro, and crumbled cotija or feta cheese. Serve with lime wedges and hot
sauce or salsa on the side.
6. Serve immediately and enjoy the vibrant flavors of these Roasted Corn and Fried Egg Tacos, perfect for any time of day!
