Follow The Directions
01
Step
In a 10-inch nonstick skillet, melt butter over medium heat, and swirl the pan to coat the bottom evenly. (Estimated time: 1 minute)
02
Step
Carefully break egg into buttered skillet and cook until egg white is opaque and egg is firm enough to turn, about 1 minute.
03
Step
Turn egg over, being careful not to break yolk; sprinkle with taco seasoning and about half of cheese.
04
Step
Gently place tortilla over egg and cheese, and cook about 1 minute. Using a silicone egg turner, flip the egg and tortilla, as one.
05
Step
Sprinkle remaining cheese on top of the egg, and continue cooking until the egg is done to your liking and the tortilla is warm and toasty, about 2 minutes.
06
Step
Slide tortilla and egg to a serving plate and serve warm.
For a richer flavor, consider using a high-quality butter or even clarified butter.
Experiment with different types of cheese to find your favorite combination – Monterey Jack, pepper jack, or even a sprinkle of cotija cheese would work well.
Don't overcrowd the pan. If making multiple tortillas, cook them one at a time for best results.
A dash of hot sauce or a dollop of sour cream can add an extra layer of flavor.
