Ingredients
Instructions
-
Prepare the eggsIn a large bowl, whisk together the eggs, milk, salt, and pepper until well combined. Set aside while preparing other ingredients.
-
Crisp the tortillasHeat 2 tablespoons of oil in a large non-stick skillet over medium-high heat. Add the tortilla strips and fry, stirring occasionally, until they become golden and crispy, about 2-3 minutes. Transfer to a paper towel-lined plate to drain excess oil.
-
Sauté the vegetablesIn the same skillet, add the remaining tablespoon of oil. Add the diced onion, jalapeño, and bell pepper. Sauté until softened, about 3-4 minutes. Add the minced garlic and cook for another 30 seconds until fragrant.
-
Combine and scrambleReduce heat to medium-low. Pour the egg mixture into the skillet with the vegetables. Allow to cook undisturbed for about 30 seconds, then gently fold in the crispy tortilla strips.
-
Finish the scrambleContinue to cook, gently folding the mixture every 30 seconds or so, until the eggs are almost set but still slightly runny, about 2-3 minutes. Sprinkle the shredded cheese over the top and fold it in. Remove from heat when the eggs are fully cooked but still moist.
-
Garnish and serveStir in the chopped cilantro. Serve immediately, topped with sliced avocado, pico de gallo, and additional cilantro for garnish. Accompany with warm flour tortillas or toast if desired.
