tortillas

cheese

🥗Healthier: nutritional yeast

💰Cheaper: processed cheese

Nutritional yeast is lower in fat and adds a cheesy flavor.

chorizo

🥗Healthier: turkey chorizo

💰Cheaper: pork sausage

Turkey chorizo is leaner while pork sausage can be more affordable.

sour cream

🥗Healthier: Greek yogurt

💰Cheaper: plain yogurt

Greek yogurt provides creaminess with fewer calories.

Place a skillet on the stovetop over medium high heat.

Add a couple of tablespoons of oil to the skillet.

Cut up corn tortillas into strips.

Fry the tortilla pieces in the hot oil on both sides in two batches to avoid overcrowding.

Remove the fried tortillas and place them on a paper towel; season with salt.

Dice up a little onion while the last batch of tortillas is frying.

Add more oil to the skillet and sauté the diced onion until softened.

Scramble the eggs in a bowl, adding a splash of milk for fluffiness.

Pour the scrambled eggs into the skillet and let them cook for a bit, stirring with a spatula.

When the eggs are about halfway done cooking, add the fried corn tortillas to the skillet.

Once the eggs are cooked through, shred pepper jack cheese on top and let it melt.

Serve topped with avocado and salsa Picante.
