Recipe Information
Ingredients
- 4 pcs large eggs
- 2 pcs small corn or flour tortillas
- 2 tbsp milk
- 0.5 tsp salt
- 0.25 tsp black pepper
- 1 tbsp butter
- 1 tbsp olive oil
- 0.5 cup shredded cheese (cheddar or your choice)
- 2 tbsp green onions, chopped
- 1 tsp hot sauce (optional)
Instructions
Crack the eggs into a medium-sized bowl. Add the milk, salt, and black pepper, and whisk until well combined.
Slice the tortillas into small squares or strips, around 1-inch in size.
Heat the olive oil in a large non-stick skillet over medium heat. Once hot, add the tortilla pieces and cook for 2-3 minutes, stirring occasionally, until they are lightly toasted and slightly crisp.
Push the tortilla pieces to one side of the skillet and add the butter to the other side. Let the butter melt fully.
Reduce the heat to medium-low and pour the egg mixture into the skillet. Let the eggs cook undisturbed for 30 seconds, then gently stir them with a spatula, scraping the bottom of the pan to form soft curds.
As the eggs begin to set, fold in the tortilla pieces to combine them with the eggs. Continue to gently stir and cook until the eggs are fully cooked but still soft and slightly creamy.
Sprinkle the shredded cheese over the eggs and let it melt for about 30 seconds. Stir gently to incorporate the cheese.
Remove the skillet from heat and garnish with chopped green onions. Add a drizzle of hot sauce if desired.
Serve immediately and enjoy your scrambled eggs with tortillas!
