Ingredients

Units Scale
  • 4 large flour tortillas (8-inch)
  • 6 large eggs

  4. Heat another skillet or clean the same one and warm over medium heat.
  5. Place one tortilla in the skillet, sprinkle half the cheese over half the tortilla, add scrambled eggs, and cooked sausage/bacon if using.
  6. Sprinkle remaining cheese on top and fold tortilla over to cover filling.

Notes

  • Customize with your favorite veggies like spinach, mushrooms, or tomatoes.
  • Use whole wheat tortillas for a healthier option.
  • For a vegetarian version, omit the meat and add extra veggies or beans.
  • Leftovers can be reheated in a skillet or microwave.
  • Serve with avocado slices or hot sauce for extra flavor.
