Ingredients with Measurements:
- 4 large eggs
- 1 tablespoon vegetable oil
- 1/4 cup diced onion
- 1/4 cup diced bell pepper
- 1/4 cup diced tomato
- 1/4 teaspoon salt
- 1/4 teaspoon black pepper
- 4 large flour tortillas
- 1/2 cup shredded cheddar cheese
Special equipment needed:
- Non-stick skillet
- Whisk
Step-by-step instructions:
1. In a non-stick skillet, heat the vegetable oil over medium heat.
2. Add the diced onion, bell pepper, and tomato to the skillet and sauté for 2-3 minutes until the vegetables are slightly softened.
3. In a bowl, whisk together the eggs, salt, and black pepper.
4. Pour the egg mixture into the skillet and let it cook for 1-2 minutes until the bottom is set.
5. Using a spatula, gently lift the edges of the egg and let the uncooked egg flow underneath to create a thin, even layer.
6. Once the egg is fully cooked, remove the skillet from the heat and let it cool for a few minutes.
7. Place a flour tortilla on a flat surface and sprinkle 2 tablespoons of shredded cheddar cheese in the center.
8. Using a spatula, carefully transfer the egg net onto the tortilla, placing it on top of the cheese.
9. Fold the sides of the tortilla towards the center, then roll it up tightly to create a burrito.
10. Repeat with the remaining tortillas and egg thread nets.
