Instructions

  1. Prepare the eggs
    In a large bowl, whisk together the eggs, milk, salt, and pepper until well combined. Set aside while preparing other ingredients.
  2. Crisp the tortillas
    Heat 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.
  3. Sauté the vegetables
    In 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.
  4. Combine and scramble
    Reduce 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.
  5. Finish the scramble
    Continue 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.
  6. Garnish and serve
    Stir 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.
