Notes
Add a splash of milk to eggs for creamier texture.
Include bell peppers or green onions for extra flavor and texture.
Keep jalapeño seeds or add hot sauce for more heat.
Use pepper jack or Monterey Jack cheese as alternatives.
Store leftover egg mixture in airtight container up to 2 days in fridge.
Reheat gently in skillet over low heat, stirring frequently.
Both corn and flour tortillas work well; warm tortillas to prevent tearing.
Substitute scrambled tofu and vegan cheese for a vegan version.
Add black or refried beans for extra protein.
Adjust jalapeño quantity to control spice level.
Use corn tortillas for gluten-free option.
Add tortilla chips just before removing eggs from heat to keep crunch.
