Chorizo Breakfast Scramble on Fried Flour Tortillas

Serves 4

Begin by heating a large skillet over medium heat. Cover the bottom of the pan in peanut or canola oil.

4 small flour tortillas, cut in 1 inch strips

Fry the tortillas for about a minute on each side until light golden brown and crisp. These cook very fast and can burn quickly so watch them carefully. Drain on paper towels and hold in a warm oven.

Sauté together for 3minutes

1 tbsp olive oil
1 tbsp butter
8 oz chorizo sausage, chopped in small pieces
¼ cup red pepper, finely diced
2 cloves minced garlic

Add

8 beaten eggs
Season with salt and pepper
Few dashes of hot sauce (optional)

Cook to a soft scramble. Spoon scrambled eggs on the fried tortilla strips on 4 serving plates.
Top each plate with
1/3 cup grated cheddar cheese.
Black olives (optional)

Place the plates under the broiler for a minute to melt the cheese. Heat your favourite salsa and spoon over the melted cheese. Serve.
