# Instructions:
01 -
Start by warming your cooking oil in a big pan. Toss in your tortilla pieces and cook until they turn golden and crunchy, around 4-5 minutes, flipping now and then. Take them out onto paper towels and add a pinch of salt while they're still hot.
02 -
Using the same pan with leftover oil, drop in your chopped peppers and onion. Let them cook until soft and fragrant, about 5 minutes.
03 -
Add your diced tomato, then pour your beaten eggs over everything. Sprinkle with salt and pepper, and mix it all together gently.
04 -
Allow eggs to cook for 2-3 minutes, stirring a bit here and there, just until they start to form but stay creamy.
05 -
Turn off the heat and mix in your crunchy tortilla bits and grated cheese. Add chili flakes, extra peppers, fresh avocado slices, and a splash of hot sauce if you want.
# Notes:
01 -
You can save time by using bagged tortilla chips instead of frying your own
02 -
Throw in some chorizo or other meat to make it more filling
03 -
A spoonful of salsa on top makes it even tastier
