Equipment
- Non-Stick Skillet
- Spatula
- Mixing Bowl
Ingredients
Main Ingredients
- 2 large eggs
- 1 large tortilla flour for a soft texture, corn for a traditional crunch
- ½ cup shredded cheese cheddar, Monterey Jack, or a mix
- 1 tbsp butter or olive oil
Optional Toppings
- chopped cilantro
- hot sauce
- salsa or avocado
Instructions
- Heat a non-stick skillet over medium heat and add butter or olive oil.
- Crack the eggs into the pan and let them cook slightly, keeping the yolks soft if you prefer a runny center.
- Place the tortilla directly over the eggs, pressing gently so the eggs stick to it. Let it cook for 30–40 seconds.
- Using a spatula, carefully flip the tortilla so the egg side is now facing up.
- Sprinkle shredded cheese evenly over one half of the tortilla.
- Fold the tortilla in half, pressing lightly. Cook until both sides are golden brown and crispy.
- Slice into triangles and serve with salsa or sour cream.
Notes
For extra flavor, try adding sautéed mushrooms, turkey bacon, or a spicy kick with jalapeños!
