Make

This was really good overall. I agree with the commenter who didn’t love the cucumber/egg combo - something about the texture didn’t work for me. But the flavors were great here, and this was a fun take on breakfast tacos.
0 HelpfulLiked an earlier suggestion to include the potatoes in the tacos. Chopped the tomatoes and cucumbers super tiny and I think I like that better than if they had been big. Should have doubled the chermola sauce when we made it - ran out of that well before we were done with the tacos.
0 HelpfulLoved the chermula. Not a huge fan of the combo of egg, cucumber for some reason. Kids ate it up!
0 HelpfulWe really enjoyed the egg tacos with the Ras-el-Hanout and chermoula. Unique and tasty. We didn't make the potatoes but will try them another time.
