If you’re looking for a simple yet delicious dinner that’s quick to prepare, using tortillas and eggs is a fantastic choice. This versatile combination can be transformed into various dishes that are sure to satisfy. Here’s a straightforward recipe for a tortilla and egg scramble that you can whip up in no time!

Ingredients:

  • 2 large eggs
  • 2 tortillas (corn or flour based on preference)
  • 1 tablespoon olive oil or butter
  • Salt and pepper to taste
  • Optional additions: cheese, diced onions, bell peppers, tomatoes, spinach, or any leftover vegetables

Instructions:

  1. Prepare the Add-Ins:
    • If you’re using onions, peppers, or other vegetables, chop them into small pieces. This is a great way to use up any veggies you have in the fridge.
  2. Heat the Oil:
    • In a non-stick skillet, heat the olive oil or melt the butter over medium heat.
  3. Cook the Vegetables:
    • Add the chopped onions and bell peppers to the skillet. Sautรฉ for about 3-5 minutes until they are soft. If youโ€™re using tomatoes or spinach, add these towards the end as they donโ€™t need much cooking.
  4. Scramble the Eggs:
    • Beat the eggs in a bowl and season with salt and pepper. Pour the eggs over the cooked vegetables in the skillet. Let the eggs sit for a few seconds and then gently stir to form a soft scramble.
  5. Warm the Tortillas:
    • While the eggs are cooking, warm the tortillas in another pan over medium heat for about 30 seconds on each side or you can pop them in the microwave for 10-15 seconds.
  6. Assemble and Serve:
    • Place the warm tortillas on plates. Divide the scrambled egg mixture between the tortillas. If desired, top with cheese or any other preferred toppings.
    • Fold the tortillas over the filling, or roll them up burrito-style.
  7. Serve Immediately:
    • Enjoy your egg-stuffed tortillas hot! They pair wonderfully with a side of salsa, sour cream, or guacamole for extra flavor.

This meal is not only filling but also customizable based on what you have available, making it a perfect last-minute dinner solution. Enjoy your quick and tasty tortilla and egg dinner!
