This easy and satisfying recipe for Tortilla Scrambled Egg and Cheese is perfect for a quick breakfast or brunch. It combines the heartiness of scrambled eggs with the melty goodness of cheese, all wrapped up in a soft tortilla.
Ingredients
- 4 large eggs
- 1/4 cup milk
- Salt and pepper, to taste
- 1 tablespoon unsalted butter
- 1/2 cup shredded cheese (cheddar, Monterey Jack, or your preference)
- 4 flour tortillas
- Optional toppings: diced tomatoes, sliced avocados, salsa, sour cream
Directions
- In a bowl, whisk together the eggs, milk, salt, and pepper until well combined.
- Heat a non-stick skillet over medium heat. Add the butter and let it melt.
- Pour the egg mixture into the skillet. Let it sit, without stirring, for about 20 seconds. Then gently start pulling the eggs from the edges to the center with a spatula. Continue this process until the eggs are softly set and slightly runny in places. Remove from heat – the eggs will continue to cook in their own heat.
- Warm the tortillas in the microwave for about 10-20 seconds or in a dry skillet over medium heat for about 30 seconds on each side.
- Divide the scrambled eggs among the tortillas. Sprinkle each with a generous amount of shredded cheese.
- If using, add any of the optional toppings like diced tomatoes, sliced avocados, salsa, or sour cream.
- Roll up the tortillas, folding in the sides as you roll, to enclose the filling.
- Serve the Tortilla Scrambled Egg and Cheese immediately while warm.
