# Preparation Steps:
01 -
Start by warming the cooking oil in a big pan. Toss in tortilla strips and cook until they're golden and crunchy, around 4-5 minutes, flipping now and then. Put them on paper towels and sprinkle salt right away.
02 -
Using the leftover oil in the same pan, throw in your chopped peppers and onion. Let them cook until they're soft and smell good, about 5 minutes.
03 -
Mix in the chopped tomato, then pour your whisked eggs on top. Add salt and pepper, and lightly mix everything together.
04 -
Allow eggs to cook for 2-3 minutes, giving them a stir once in a while, just until they start to set but stay soft.
05 -
Take the pan off the heat and mix in your crunchy tortilla pieces and grated cheese. Add chili flakes, more peppers, avocado, and a splash of hot sauce if you want.
# Additional Tips:

02 -
Mix in some chorizo or any meat to make it more filling

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