Ingredients
US measurements with metric in parentheses.
Instructions
- Heat oil in a large nonstick skillet over medium-high heat. Fry the tortilla strips 2 to 3 minutes until crisp, then remove.
- In the same pan, cook onion and jalapeño 3 minutes until soft.
- Lower heat to medium. Pour in the eggs and salt and stir gently until just beginning to set.
- Fold in the beans and tortilla strips and cook 1 more minute until the eggs are firm.
- Top with cheese, salsa and cilantro and serve right away.
🌡 Food safety: Cook eggs until the whites and yolks are firm, especially when serving children, older adults, pregnant people or anyone with a weakened immune system. Wash hands and surfaces after handling raw meat, poultry, seafood or eggs, and refrigerate leftovers within 2 hours.
Tips for success
- Pull the eggs from the heat while still slightly glossy; they keep cooking.
- Day-old tortillas crisp best.
Substitutions
- Omit the cheese for dairy-free.
- Add chorizo if you eat meat.
Storage & reheating
Best eaten fresh. Refrigerate leftovers 1 day and reheat gently.
