Southwest Tortilla Scramble
Here’s my version of a deconstructed breakfast burrito that’s actually good for you. Go for hefty corn tortillas in this recipe. Flour ones can get lost in the scramble. —Christine Schenher, Exeter, California

I've made a version of this that my mom taught me many years ago that is very basic (eggs, corn tortillas, salt and pepper). One key difference is to fry the corn tortilla's in some butter first until they are a little browned and then add the egg mixture to the pan. This brings out the flavor of the tortilla and they won't be soggy.

Agreed. The torn corn tortilla added is not a good idea. Pretty basic recipe.
I omitted sustituted the egg whites and added 2 whole eggs. Tossed in some leftover peppers and onions. I wasn't thrilled with the cut up corn tortillas, not sure if I'll make this again.
Excellent! I made this for a friend visiting from England. I added just 1/4 teaspoon ground cumin seed and just a few small diced red and yellow pepper. So easy and quick.
