1

Slice up some tomatoes and season with salt, pepper, coriander leaves, and lime juice.

Prepare the avocado by squeezing lime juice on it to prevent oxidation, and season lightly.

Reheat wheat tortillas on a plancha or in a dry non-stick pan until warm, not crispy.

4

Crack 6 eggs into a mixing bowl and whisk them, leaving some ribbons of yolk for texture.

5

Heat a tablespoon of oil and a little butter in a skillet over medium-high heat.

Pour the eggs into the skillet and use a spatula to gently fold the eggs, cooking until they are just set and still loose.

Plate a warmed tortilla and add a layer of seasoned tomatoes, avocado, and the scrambled eggs.

9

Top with homemade chili sauce and additional manchego cheese if desired.
