Ingredients

  • 4 large eggs
  • 2 whole wheat tortillas with high fiber content, cut into 1/2-inch strips
  • 2 ounces of diced dry chorizo
  • 2 slices of pepperjack cheese
  • Salt and freshly ground black pepper for seasoning, as per taste
  • A tablespoon of freshly chopped chives

Step 1

Start by beating the eggs in a cozy little bowl, allowing them to rest while you prepare the rest of the dish. In a skillet set over medium heat, mingle the tortilla slices and flavorful chorizo. Stir gently as they cook together, watching as the tortillas become delightfully crispy over the course of 5 minutes.

Step 2

Next, carefully position the cheese slices atop the sizzling chorizo and tortillas, then gracefully pour in the beaten eggs. Lower the heat to a gentle simmer and continue to stir until the eggs are perfectly cooked through, a process that should take around 3 minutes. Season the dish ever so lovingly with a sprinkle of salt and pepper, savoring the aromas as they fill your kitchen. To add a touch of freshness, adorn the creation with a handful of finely chopped chives before serving.
