Steps

  1. Make the avocado sauce first: blend or mash the avocado with the yogurt, lime juice, half the cilantro and a pinch of the salt (about one quarter of it) until smooth; chill until serving.
  2. Wash and dry the romaine leaves and set them on a platter.
  3. Heat the olive oil in a large skillet over medium heat. Add the potatoes in one layer, cover, and cook 8 minutes, stirring once.
  4. Uncover, add the onion and green bell pepper, and cook 8 to 10 minutes more, stirring occasionally, until the potatoes are tender and crisp at the edges.
  5. Season the potato mixture with the paprika, garlic powder, black pepper and half of the remaining salt; stir and push it to one side of the skillet.
  6. Whisk the eggs with the milk and the rest of the salt. Pour into the empty side of the skillet over medium-low heat and stir gently until softly set and cooked to 160°F (71°C), then fold into the potatoes.
  7. Spoon the potato and egg filling into the romaine leaves, drizzle with the avocado sauce, and top with the queso fresco, the remaining half of the cilantro and a few dashes of hot sauce.
