Time 15m

Number Of Ingredients 13

Tips:

  • Use fresh ingredients: Fresh vegetables, herbs, and spices will give your scramble the best flavor.
  • Cook the eggs slowly: Low and slow is the best way to cook scrambled eggs. This will help them stay tender and fluffy.
  • Don't overcook the eggs: Overcooked eggs are tough and rubbery. Cook them just until they are set.
  • Add your fillings at the end: This will help them stay warm and prevent them from overcooking.
  • Serve immediately: Scrambled eggs are best served hot and fresh.

Southwest tortilla scramble is a quick, easy, and delicious breakfast recipe. It's perfect for busy mornings or lazy weekends. With its flavorful combination of eggs, vegetables, cheese, and salsa, this scramble is sure to please everyone at the table.
