Steps
- Warm the taco shells in a dry skillet over medium heat, about 2 minutes, then set aside.
- Heat oil in the skillet over medium-high heat and crack the eggs into it, cooking until the whites set and edges brown, about 4 to 5 minutes.
- Scoop one fried egg into each warm shell.
- Slice the avocado and divide among the tacos with a squeeze of lime juice and a pinch of salt.
Why it’s cheap
2 of the 8 ingredients were on sale at Walmart the week of October 18, 2026, led by yellow corn taco shells at $1.33 instead of $2.58.
The sale items rang up $1.43 under their regular prices.
Penny Meals prices a dinner by the share of each package you actually cook, adds an estimated shelf price for anything that wasn’t on sale, and counts pantry staples like oil and salt as free. That came to $1.00 a serving, or $4.00 for 4 servings.
