  • Total Time: 20 minutes
  • Yield: Serves 2

Ingredients

Scale
  • 2 large flour tortillas
  • 4 large eggs
  • 1 ripe avocado, sliced
  • 1 cup shredded cheddar cheese
  • 2 tsp olive oil
  • Salt and pepper to taste
  • Salsa (optional)

Instructions

  1. 1. Prepare Your Ingredients: Gather all ingredients on your countertop.
  2. 2. Scramble the Eggs: In a bowl, whisk together eggs with salt and pepper. Cook in a non-stick pan over medium heat until soft curds form.
  3. 3. Melt the Cheese: Sprinkle shredded cheddar over the scrambled eggs just before they finish cooking to allow melting.

  6. 6. Serve It Up: Remove from skillet, cut into wedges, and serve hot with optional salsa.

Notes

  • Experiment with different cheeses like pepper jack for added flavor.
