Huevos Revueltos con Tortilla 

Ingredients: 
3 large eggs, beaten 
2 tortillas, sliced 
1 piece deli ham, sliced 
1/2 Roma tomato, diced 
1 tablespoon oil or butter 
Salt and pepper, to taste 
Garnish with Cotija cheese 
Top with hot sauce/ketchup (optional but strongly encouraged) 

Instructions:

Begin by slicing your tortillas and ham into even square slices then add to an oiled non-stick pan, place on medium heat. Let that crisp up for about 5-10 minutes or until ham and tortillas get a desired amount of color.

In the meantime, beat 3 eggs in a bowl. Once ham and tortillas are to your liking, add eggs.

Fold your eggs in with the contents of the pan for a light and fluffy end result. To ensure food safety, eggs should be cooked until the center reaches 160°F. Once cooked, plate.

Top off with fresh tomato, Cotija cheese and a touch of hot sauce or ketchup and enjoy.
