Method
 

Step-by-Step Instructions
  1. In a medium bowl, whisk together 2 large eggs until well combined. Heat a non-stick pan over medium-low heat and pour in the eggs. Cook, stirring gently, for about 5-7 minutes, or until the eggs are fluffy and fully cooked. Remove the pan from heat and set the scrambled eggs aside.

  2. While the eggs are cooking, take 1 large avocado and cut it in half. Carefully remove the pit and scoop the flesh into a mixing bowl. Add a splash of fresh lime juice and mash the avocado until creamy yet slightly chunky.

  3. In the same non-stick pan, add a touch of oil and heat over medium heat. Place one 8-inch flour tortilla in the pan, then layer half of the scrambled eggs, the creamy avocado mix, a generous handful of shredded cheddar cheese, and a sprinkle of chopped cilantro. Top with a second tortilla.
