Recipe Information
Ingredients
- 6 pieces large eggs
- 2 tablespoons whole milk
- 0.5 teaspoons salt
- 0.25 teaspoons black pepper
- 1 tablespoon unsalted butter
- 1 cup refried beans
- 0.5 cup shredded cheddar cheese
- 0.75 cup fresh salsa (mild or spicy)
- 6 pieces corn or flour tortillas
- 1 medium avocado
- 2 tablespoons fresh cilantro
- 1 piece lime
- 1 teaspoon cooking oil
Instructions
Crack the eggs into a medium-sized bowl, add the milk, salt, and black pepper, and whisk until well combined.
Heat a large non-stick skillet over medium heat and add the butter. Once melted, pour in the egg mixture.
Cook the eggs slowly, stirring consistently, until they are scrambled and cooked through but still soft. Remove from heat.
In a separate small pot or skillet, warm the refried beans over low heat, stirring occasionally to prevent sticking. Once heated, fold in the shredded cheddar cheese until melted.
Heat the tortillas one by one in a dry skillet over medium heat for about 30 seconds per side, or until warmed and slightly browned. Alternatively, wrap them in foil and warm them in the oven at 350°F (175°C) for 5 minutes.
Slice the avocado and chop the fresh cilantro. Cut the lime into wedges for serving.
Arrange a scoop of scrambled eggs, a dollop of refried beans, and a spoonful of salsa on each tortilla. Top with avocado slices and a sprinkle of cilantro.
Serve the tortillas with lime wedges on the side for a fresh citrus squeeze before eating.
