# Instructions:
01 -
Heat up a skillet and pour in the oil. Fry up the tortilla squares or strips until they're crispy and golden—stir them around now and then for about 4-5 minutes. Set them on paper towels and sprinkle salt while they're still hot.
02 -
Using the same pan, toss in the chopped onion and peppers. Cook for about 5 minutes or until they smell amazing and are nice and tender.
03 -
Add in the diced tomato first, then pour your whisked eggs over everything. Sprinkle a bit of salt and pepper on top, then gently mix it all together.
04 -
Cook the egg mixture for 2-3 minutes, stirring sometimes, until it's creamy and just starting to set.
05 -
Turn off the heat and mix in the crispy tortilla pieces and shredded cheese. Enhance your dish with avocado slices, a pinch of chili flakes, extra peppers, or hot sauce if you'd like.
# Notes:
01 -
For a quicker option, crushed tortilla chips work instead of frying fresh tortillas.
02 -
Bulk it up with extras like chorizo or another protein.
03 -
Try topping it off with a tasty salsa for added zing.
