Ingredients
Method
- Heat the vegetable oil in a large skillet over medium heat until shimmering.
- Add the tortilla strips and cook until golden and crisp, stirring occasionally so they brown evenly without burning.
- Transfer the crispy tortillas to a paper towel-lined plate and lightly season with a pinch of salt while still hot.
- In a mixing bowl, whisk the eggs with milk, salt, black pepper, and smoked paprika until smooth and airy.
- Add the diced onion, jalapeño, and bell pepper to the same skillet and sauté until softened and fragrant.
- Stir in the diced tomato and cook until the juices slightly reduce and the mixture becomes glossy.
- Lower the heat slightly and pour the egg mixture into the skillet with the vegetables.
- Gently stir the eggs with a spatula, allowing soft curds to form while keeping the texture creamy.
- Fold in the crispy tortilla strips once the eggs are mostly set but still slightly soft.
- Sprinkle the shredded Monterey Jack cheese over the skillet and stir lightly until melted and gooey.
- Remove the skillet from the heat before the eggs become dry.
- Top with avocado slices, cotija cheese, cilantro, and chili flakes for extra flavor and freshness.
- Serve immediately while hot and fluffy.
