# Instructions:
01 -
Start by heating up vegetable oil in a big pan. Toss in tortilla pieces and cook them, flipping now and then, until golden brown and crispy, about 4-5 minutes. Place them on paper towels and sprinkle with salt right away.
02 -
Using the same pan with leftover oil, drop in the onion and both types of peppers. Stir them around and cook for roughly 5 minutes until they're soft and fragrant.
03 -
Mix the diced tomato into the pan. Pour in the beaten eggs, season it with salt and pepper, and stir it gently so it all combines.
04 -
Let the eggs sit undisturbed for a bit, about 2-3 minutes. Stir them a little occasionally until they look set but remain creamy.
05 -
Take the pan off the heat. Stir in the crispy tortilla strips and sprinkle the cheese on top. Add toppings like avocado slices, chilies, chili flakes, or a dash of hot sauce before serving.
# Notes:
01 -
Crushed ready-made tortilla chips work great if you're in a rush.
02 -
Add some chorizo or other protein to make it heartier.
03 -
Serve it with salsa for a flavor boost.
