Total: 35 minutes
Ingredients
Ingredients
- 1 tablespoon olive oil for the skillet
- 1/2 pound ground beef or leftover taco meat cooked and crumbled
- 1/2 small onion finely diced
- 1 bell pepper diced
- 1 teaspoon chili powder
- 1/2 teaspoon ground cumin
- 1/4 teaspoon fine sea salt
- 6 large eggs beaten
- 1/4 cup shredded cheddar cheese
- 4 large flour tortillas warmed
- 1/2 cup diced tomato
- 1/4 cup chopped fresh cilantro
Instructions
Instructions
- Warm the olive oil in a large skillet over medium heat. Add the onion and bell pepper and cook for 4 to 5 minutes, until softened.
- Add the cooked taco meat, chili powder, cumin, and salt. Stir for 2 to 3 minutes, until the meat is hot and fragrant.
- Pour in the beaten eggs. Cook, stirring gently, until the eggs are softly set with no wet liquid remaining.
- Remove the skillet from the heat and fold in the cheddar cheese. Let the filling stand for 1 minute so the cheese begins to melt.
- Warm the tortillas until flexible. Divide the filling among them, adding tomato and cilantro if using.
- Fold the sides inward, roll each tortilla tightly from the bottom, and serve warm.
Notes
Keep the eggs softly set in the skillet; residual heat will finish them as the cheese melts.
