# Preparation Steps:
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, put on paper towels and sprinkle salt while they're still hot.
02 -
Using the same pan with leftover oil, throw in your chopped peppers and onion. Let them cook until soft and smelling good, about 5 minutes.
03 -
Add your chopped tomato, then pour your whisked eggs on top. Sprinkle with salt and pepper, and gently mix everything together.
04 -
Allow eggs to cook for 2-3 minutes, stirring a bit, just until they start to firm up but stay creamy inside.
05 -
Take off the heat and mix in your crunchy tortilla bits and grated cheese. Add extra stuff like chili flakes, more peppers, fresh avocado, and a splash of hot sauce if you want.
# Additional Tips:
01 -
You can save time by using bagged tortilla chips instead of making your own
02 -
Throw in some chorizo or other meat to make it more filling
03 -
Spoon your fave salsa on top for more taste
