# Instructions:
01 -
Warm up the vegetable oil in a big pan. Toss in the tortilla pieces and fry until they turn golden and crisp. Flip them around as they cook, about 4-5 minutes. Put on a paper towel to drain and salt them while they’re hot.
02 -
With the same pan and leftover oil, toss in your chopped onion and peppers. Stir them around until fragrant and soft, which takes roughly 5 minutes.
03 -
Add the diced tomato to the pan, and then pour in your eggs. Season everything with salt and pepper, stirring slowly to combine.
04 -
Cook the eggs gently for a couple of minutes, stirring here and there until they’re creamy but not fully set.
05 -
Take the pan off the heat. Mix in your crispy tortillas and stir in the shredded cheese. Add your toppings like chili flakes, fresh avocado, extra peppers, or some hot sauce to complete the dish.
