What you will need
This recipe uses 6 simple ingredients that you can find at any grocery store:
- 4 large eggs
- 4 small flour or corn tortillas
- 0.5 cup shredded cheddar cheese
- 0.25 cup salsa
- 1 tablespoon butter
- 2 tablespoons sour cream
Step by step instructions
Step 1: Scramble the Eggs
Crack eggs into a bowl, season with salt and pepper, and whisk until combined. Melt butter in a nonstick skillet over medium-low heat and pour in the eggs. Cook slowly stirring gently until just set and fluffy, about 3 to 4 minutes.
Step 2: Warm the Tortillas
While eggs cook, warm the tortillas directly over a gas flame for 20 seconds per side or in a dry skillet for 30 seconds per side until soft and pliable.
Step 3: Assemble and Serve
Spoon scrambled eggs into each warm tortilla, top with shredded cheddar, a spoonful of salsa, and a dollop of sour cream. Serve immediately.

- Skipping the tortilla warming step which leaves them stiff and prone to cracking
