Ingredients

• 4 pieces Corn tortillas
• 4 tablespoons Vegetable oil
• 6 pieces Eggs
• 3 tablespoons Milk
• 0.5 teaspoons Salt
• 0.25 teaspoons Ground black pepper
• 0.5 cups Cheddar cheese, shredded
• 0.75 cups Tomatoes, diced
• 0.25 cups Red onion, finely chopped
• 2 tablespoons Cilantro, chopped
• 1 medium Avocado, diced
• 0.25 cups Sour cream
• 1 teaspoons Hot sauce (optional)

Directions

Step 1

Stack the corn tortillas and use a sharp knife to cut them into thin strips, roughly 1/2 inch wide.

Step 2

Heat 2 tablespoons of vegetable oil in a large skillet over medium heat. Once hot, add half of the tortilla strips in a single layer. Fry them for 2-3 minutes on each side until golden brown and crispy. Remove them with a slotted spoon and place them on a paper towel-lined plate to drain excess oil. Repeat with the remaining tortilla strips and oil.

Step 3

In a medium-sized bowl, whisk together the eggs, milk, salt, and black pepper until well combined.

Step 4

Heat a non-stick skillet over medium-low heat. Pour in the egg mixture and cook, stirring gently and continuously, until the eggs are scrambled and just set. Remove the skillet from heat and sprinkle the shredded cheddar cheese over the top, allowing it to melt slightly.

Step 5

Divide the scrambled eggs onto plates and top them with crispy tortilla slices.

Step 6

Garnish each plate with diced tomatoes, chopped red onion, cilantro, and avocado pieces. Add a dollop of sour cream on the side and drizzle with hot sauce if desired.

Step 7

Serve immediately and enjoy your flavorful Mexican Eggs with Crispy Tortilla Slices!
