Tortilla Scramble

 

    I know I just posted about raw granola and I do eat raw a lot for breakfast but I love eggs too. I find my self altering days. My family adores browned potatoes and eggs. Well one day I was out of potatoes and was looking for a replacement. I had a big stack of corn tortilla's that needed to be used. It is when I need something, I find my yummy ideas. I cut the tortillas into little squares, crisped them up in a bit of butter, added some fresh eggs and topped it all with salsa. A new breakfast favorite! Actually topped with some roasted veggies, this would make a yummy dinner and it is gluten free!

Tortilla Scramble

Server’s 1-2 people

 

4 small corn tortillas, cut into small squares

1 TBL butter

1-2 TBL oil

2 eggs

1 TBL milk

Salt and pepper to taste (option, I add a bit of dried granulated garlic)

In a small bowl whisk eggs, milk, salt/pepper and set aside. Heat a non-stick pan over high heat, add oil and butter. When butter has melted, add tortillas. Let them brown and crisp up a bit. Then add eggs and gently stir until the eggs have cooked.

 

*Notes

1. I use scissors to cut the tortillas. I cut them into strips, then pieces.

2. I like to serve this dish with salsa and fresh avocado.

3. You can add grated cheese to the eggs just before cooking them.

Yum, that sounds good! We like breakfast burritos -- eggs, bacon or sausage, salsa, cheese, etc. all rolled into a warm tortilla.

Wonderful! Many years ago, I lived in Texas for a long stretch of time. Eggs and tortillas were a regular combination. Thank you for reminding me of how much I loved them!
