Introduction Eggs and tortillas are a match made in culinary heaven. Simple, versatile, and delicious, these ingredients can be transformed into delightful dishes that will impress any guest or make any meal special. Here are three top recipes that start just by pouring an egg onto a tortilla, proving that sometimes the simplest ideas are the best.

1. Classic Breakfast Quesadilla For a hearty start to your day, nothing beats a breakfast quesadilla. Here’s how to make it:

  • Ingredients: 1 large tortilla, 2 eggs, ¼ cup shredded cheese (like cheddar or Monterey Jack), salt, and pepper.

  • Instructions: Beat the eggs with salt and pepper. Pour onto a heated, lightly oiled skillet and place the tortilla on top of the egg as it cooks. Once the egg begins to set, sprinkle cheese over half of the tortilla, then fold it over to cover the cheese. Flip and cook until the tortilla is crispy and golden and the cheese is melted. Serve with salsa or sour cream for an extra zing.

2. Egg and Avocado Wrap This wrap is perfect for a nutritious lunch that packs a punch of flavor:

  • Ingredients: 1 large tortilla, 1 egg, 1 sliced avocado, a handful of arugula, 1 tablespoon ranch dressing, salt, and pepper.

  • Instructions: Cook the egg in a greased skillet, placing the tortilla on top as the egg cooks. Once set, remove from heat. On one side of the tortilla, lay down the slices of avocado, arugula, and a drizzle of ranch dressing. Roll the tortilla tightly, starting from the filled side, to form a wrap. Slice in half and enjoy.

3. Tortilla Spanish Omelette Turn a classic Spanish dish into a tortilla-friendly feast:

  • Ingredients: 1 tortilla, 2 eggs, ½ diced onion, ½ cup sliced bell peppers, ¼ cup diced tomatoes, ¼ cup cooked diced potato, salt, pepper, and olive oil.

  • Instructions: Sauté onions, bell peppers, and tomatoes in a pan with olive oil. Add cooked potatoes. Beat the eggs with salt and pepper, pour over the veggies, and cover with a tortilla. Cook until the egg sets, then carefully flip to briefly cook the tortilla side. Slide onto a plate and slice like a pizza.
