Instructions

  1. In a large skillet, heat 1 tablespoon of olive oil over medium heat. Add the sliced leeks and sauté until soft, about 5 minutes.
  2. Add the chopped kale to the skillet and cook until wilted, around 4-5 minutes. Season with salt and black pepper, then remove the greens from the skillet and set aside.
  3. In the same skillet, add another tablespoon of olive oil. Crack the eggs into the skillet and cook until the whites are set but the yolks remain runny, about 3-4 minutes.
  4. Warm the tortillas in a separate pan or microwave until pliable.
  5. To assemble, place a portion of the sautéed greens on each tortilla, top with a pan-seared egg, and garnish with fresh parsley. Serve immediately.
