Ingredients

Scale

Main Ingredients

  • 4 large fresh eggs
  • 1/2 cup shredded cheddar or Monterey Jack cheese
  • 4 flour or corn tortillas
  • 1 tablespoon butter or oil
  • Salt, to taste
  • Black pepper, to taste

Optional Extras

  • 1/4 cup chopped onions
  • 2 tablespoons fresh cilantro, chopped
  • 2 tablespoons mild salsa

Instructions

  1. Step 1: Prep Your Ingredients – Crack the fresh eggs into a bowl and whisk gently with salt and pepper. Shred the cheese and chop any optional veggies or extras you want to include.
  2. Step 2: Cook the Eggs – Heat butter or oil in a nonstick skillet over medium heat. Pour in the whisked eggs and stir continuously to scramble gently, ensuring the eggs stay soft and creamy.
  3. Step 3: Add the Cheese – Just before the eggs finish cooking, sprinkle the shredded cheese evenly over the top and allow it to melt into the warm eggs, creating a gooey texture.
  4. Step 4: Warm the Tortillas – Heat tortillas in a separate pan or microwave until pliable and warm to prevent breaking when filling.
  5. Step 5: Assemble the Tacos – Spoon the cheesy scrambled eggs onto each warmed tortilla, add any additional toppings desired, then fold or roll and serve immediately.

Notes

  • Use fresh eggs and freshly shredded cheese for superior flavor and melt.
  • Cook eggs on medium-low heat to keep them creamy and avoid drying out.
  • Be sure to grease your pan with butter or oil to prevent sticking and add richness.
  • Avoid overfilling tacos to prevent tearing of tortillas.
  • Always warm tortillas right before assembly to keep them soft and flexible.
