Ingredients

• 2 pieces Coconut flour tortillas (low-carb or keto-friendly)
• 2 tablespoons Olive oil
• 6 large Eggs
• 1 tablespoon Heavy cream
• 0.5 teaspoon Salt
• 0.25 teaspoon Ground black pepper
• 0.25 cup (diced) Onion
• 1 small (seeded and diced) Jalapeño (optional, for heat)
• 1 clove (minced) Garlic
• 0.5 cup Cheddar cheese (shredded)
• 2 tablespoons (chopped) Fresh cilantro (optional, for garnish)

Directions

Step 1

Cut the low-carb tortillas into small strips or triangles, approximately 1 inch wide.

Step 2

Heat 1 tablespoon of olive oil in a large non-stick skillet over medium heat. Once hot, add the tortilla strips and cook until golden brown and crispy, about 2-3 minutes per side. Remove from the skillet and set aside on a paper towel-lined plate to drain excess oil.

Step 3

In a medium bowl, whisk together the eggs, heavy cream, salt, and black pepper until fully combined and slightly frothy. Set aside.

Step 4

Add the remaining tablespoon of olive oil to the skillet and heat over medium. Add the diced onion and jalapeño (if using) and sauté until softened, about 3-4 minutes. Add the minced garlic and cook for an additional 30 seconds, stirring frequently to prevent burning.

Step 5

Reduce the heat to medium-low and pour the whisked egg mixture into the skillet. Gently stir the eggs with a spatula, scraping the bottom of the skillet, until the eggs are soft and just set, about 3-5 minutes.

Step 6

Stir in the crispy tortilla strips and shredded cheddar cheese, folding the mixture gently to combine and allow the cheese to melt.

Step 7

Remove from heat and transfer to serving plates. Sprinkle with chopped fresh cilantro, if desired, and serve immediately. Enjoy!
