| Step | Description |
|---|---|
| 1 | Begin by tearing the flour tortillas into rustic, chip-like pieces, reminiscent of the ones made by my dear grandmother in the heart of old-world Mexico. |
| 2 | Heat 3 to 4 tablespoons of cooking oil in a black cast iron skillet over medium heat. Once the oil is shimmering, add the torn tortillas to the skillet, spreading them out evenly. Toast them until they turn a glorious golden brown, infusing them with a deliciously crispy texture. |
| 3 | While the tortillas are toasting, crack two eggs into a bowl and scramble them together, incorporating a dash of milk if desired for extra creaminess. |
| 4 | Once the tortillas have reached the perfect shade of golden brown, pour the scrambled eggs over them, allowing them to envelop the tortilla pieces in a comforting embrace. |
| 5 | Cook the eggs and tortillas together, stirring gently, until the eggs are fully set and cooked to your desired consistency. This typically takes just a few minutes, ensuring a quick and satisfying meal or snack whenever the craving strikes. |
| 6 | Season the dish with salt and pepper to taste, adding a final flourish of flavor that brings out the rustic charm of this beloved recipe. |
Serve your tortilla eggs piping hot, straight from the skillet, and savor every nostalgic bite as you reminisce about the cherished moments spent in the kitchen with loved ones.
