Step 1

In a small bowl, scramble your egg with a dash of milk.

Step 2

Heat a small pan (I use an 8-inch cast iron skillet) over medium heat. Butter the skillet or spray it with cooking spray.

Step 3

Place the tortilla in the pan. Let it warm up on one side, and then flip it. Repeat if you want an extra crispy tortilla.

Step 4

Once both sides are hot, sprinkle cheese onto the tortilla. I like to leave the center alone and cover the perimeter with cheese.

Step 5

Once the cheese has melted, slowly pour the egg mixture onto the center of the tortilla. It will overflow onto the pan, which is fine. At this point, you’re going to treat it sort of like an omelet, so use a wooden spoon to push the eggs around the perimeter of the pan. Scoot the set pieces to the center of the tortilla.

Step 6

Once you’ve redistributed all of the eggs to the tortilla, use a big spatula to flip it over and cook for about twenty seconds. Flip it back onto your plate and top it with whatever your heart desires!

Chef’s notes

Suggested topping:

Salsa Fresca

Suggested topping:

Spicy Black Beans

More options:

Crumbled queso fresco or feta, sour cream or plain Greek yogurt, store bought salsa (just try to minimize the juice so your tortilla doesn’t get soggy), and pinto beans instead of black beans. Put a summer garden spin on it with sautéed zucchini, onions and mild cheese. Or hey, try cheddar cheese and ketchup (this big kid will never stop loving ketchup).
