Description
A simple and delicious dish combining crispy fried corn tortillas with scrambled eggs, seasoned with salt, pepper, and garlic powder. Perfect for a quick breakfast or light meal with a satisfying crunch and savory flavor!
Ingredients
Scale
- 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, or 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 crispy and golden brown, about 2 minutes per side. Remove the tortillas from the skillet and place them on a paper towel-lined plate to drain excess oil.
- Sauté the Onion: In the same skillet, add the diced onion and sauté over medium heat until softened and lightly browned, about 3-4 minutes. Remove from the skillet and set aside.
- Scramble the Eggs: Crack the eggs into a bowl and whisk with a pinch of salt, pepper, and garlic powder. Pour the eggs into the skillet and cook, stirring occasionally, until scrambled and cooked through, about 3-4 minutes.
- Assemble the Dish: Break each fried tortilla into pieces and place them on serving plates. Top with the scrambled eggs and sautéed onions.
- Serve and Enjoy: Garnish with fresh cilantro, salsa, or hot sauce if desired. Serve immediately for a crunchy and flavorful meal.
Notes
- For extra flavor, you can add a sprinkle of cheese or avocado slices on top of the eggs.
- You can serve this dish with a side of beans or a small salad for a more complete meal.
- Feel free to adjust the seasonings to your preference—add more garlic powder, chili powder, or other spices for a customized taste.
