Ingredients
4 small flour or corn tortillas
4 large eggs
1/4 cup milk or water (for fluffier eggs)
1/2 cup shredded cheese (cheddar, Monterey Jack, or your favorite)
1/2 cup diced tomatoes (or pico de gallo)
1/4 cup chopped cilantro (optional)
1/2 avocado, sliced or mashed (optional)
Optional Toppings:
Salsa, hot sauce, or sour cream
Lime wedges for squeezing
Instructions
- Prep the Ingredients: Warm the tortillas: Heat the tortillas in a dry skillet over medium heat for about 30 seconds per side, or microwave them for about 15-20 seconds until warm.
- Scramble the Eggs: In a bowl, whisk the eggs with milk or water and a pinch of salt and pepper. Heat a nonstick skillet over medium heat, and add a little butter or oil. Pour the egg mixture into the skillet and cook gently, stirring frequently until the eggs are just set (soft and fluffy, not dry).
- Assemble the Tacos: Place scrambled eggs onto each warm tortilla. Sprinkle shredded cheese over the eggs so it melts slightly from the heat. Top with diced tomatoes, and add any other toppings like avocado or cilantro if desired.
- Serve and Enjoy: Add salsa or hot sauce to taste for extra flavor. Fold the tortillas and enjoy immediately while warm!
