Ingredients
- 1 large flour tortilla (8–10 inch)
- 1–2 large eggs
- 1 teaspoon butter or oil
- Salt and black pepper, to taste
Optional Toppings:
- Grated cheese (cheddar, mozzarella, pepper jack)
- Fresh herbs (parsley, cilantro, chives)
- Hot sauce or chili flakes
- Sautéed vegetables (onion, peppers, spinach, mushrooms)
- Cooked bacon or ham pieces
Instructions
- Heat the Pan – Place a non-stick skillet over medium heat and add butter or oil. Fry the Egg – Crack the egg into the pan. Season lightly with salt and pepper. Cook until the whites are set but the yolk is still soft, or to your preferred doneness.
- Add the Tortilla – Once the egg is nearly cooked, place the tortilla directly on top of the egg in the pan. Press gently so the egg sticks to it.
- Flip and Toast – Carefully flip the tortilla and egg together so the tortilla is now facing the pan. Toast for 1–2 minutes until lightly golden.
- Add Toppings – Sprinkle cheese, herbs, or other toppings over the egg side. Fold the tortilla in half or roll it up.
- Serve – Enjoy hot, straight from the pan.
