Scrambled Eggs with Fried Tortillas. It hardly took me 5 min to finish this dish. I used the flour tortilla which I made before. If you need recipe for homemade tortilla please check this.
I used capsicum in this but if you don’t have that you could skip that. If you like your scrambled eggs spicy throw some chopped green chillies, that will give a nice kick to this dish.
If you want to level up this dish, try topping it with salsa, cheese and extra cilantro.
How to Make Mexican Scrambled Eggs
- Beat egg with some salt and pepper and set aside.
- In a frying pan add oil and fry the thinly sliced tortilla pieces till crispy.Remove it and set aside.
- Now heat oil again in that pan and fry onion, capsicum, tomatoes for 1 min.
- Add in the eggs and scramble slightly. Add in the fried tortilla pieces when it is still gooey and runny. Mix well.
- Tip this in to a plate and enjoy.

I know a lot of folks who don’t eat eggs (they’re allergic, for health reasons, or concerns about animal cruelty). Here’s an awesome site that gives tips on cooking and baking without eggs: http://EggFreeLiving.com
