Ingredients
Scale
Main Ingredients
- 4 corn tortillas
- 1 tablespoon vegetable oil (for frying)
- 1/2 medium onion, diced
- 4 large eggs
- Salt, to taste
- Pepper, to taste
- 1/2 teaspoon garlic powder
Optional Garnish
- Fresh cilantro
- Salsa
- Hot sauce
Instructions
- Fry the Tortillas: Heat vegetable oil in a skillet over medium heat. Once the oil is hot, fry the corn tortillas one at a time until they turn crispy and golden brown, about 2 minutes per side. Remove the tortillas and drain on a paper towel-lined plate to remove excess oil.
- Sauté the Onion: Using the same skillet, add the diced onion and cook over medium heat until softened and lightly browned, approximately 3-4 minutes. Remove the onions from the skillet and set aside.
- Scramble the Eggs: Crack the eggs into a bowl and whisk them together with a pinch of salt, pepper, and garlic powder. Pour the mixture into the skillet and cook over medium heat, stirring occasionally, until the eggs are fully scrambled and cooked through, about 3-4 minutes.
- Assemble the Dish: Break each fried tortilla into pieces and distribute them evenly on serving plates. Top with the scrambled eggs followed by the sautéed onions.
- Serve and Enjoy: Garnish with fresh cilantro, salsa, or hot sauce if desired. Serve immediately for a crunchy and flavorful breakfast experience.
Notes
- Use fresh corn tortillas for the best texture and flavor.
- Adjust seasoning to taste, especially salt and pepper.
- For a healthier option, consider using a non-stick skillet with less oil or baking the tortillas until crisp.
- Optional garnishes can be customized based on preference or dietary needs.
