How To Make Egg Tortillas
First, set an 8” pan to medium heat and add your butter or oil, making sure to thoroughly coat the entire pan.
While your pan is warming up, crack your eggs into a bowl and add your salt and pepper. Mix your egg mixture with a whisk or fork until homogenized.
Once your pan is hot, pour in your egg mixture. Let this cook undisturbed for 2-3 minutes.
Use your spatula to curve around the rim of the eggs and gently flip. Let cook on other side for another 1-2 minutes.
Once your egg tortilla is fully cooked, you can remove it from the heat and add your filling. To do this, follow the rules of a burrito and add your filling down the center towards the middle of the egg wrap, making sure not to add too much filling. Gently roll your egg tortilla on either side to wrap around your filling.
