# Instructions:
01 -
Start by warming your cooking oil in a big pan. Toss in your tortilla pieces and cook till they turn golden and crunchy, around 4-5 minutes, flipping now and then. Pull them out onto paper towels and add a bit of salt while they're still hot.
02 -
Using the leftover oil in the same pan, toss in your chopped peppers and onion. Let them cook till they're soft and smell good, about 5 minutes.
03 -
Add your chopped tomato, then pour your beaten eggs over everything. Sprinkle with salt and pepper, and mix gently.
04 -
Cook the eggs for 2-3 minutes, stirring a bit, just until they start to firm up but stay creamy.
05 -
Turn off the heat and mix in your crunchy tortilla bits and grated cheese. Add chili flakes, more peppers, avocado, and some hot sauce if you want.
# Notes:

A spoonful of your go-to salsa makes it even tastier
