Cooking Instructions

  1. 1

    Caramelize the Onions

    In a skillet, heat 1 tablespoon of olive oil over medium heat. Add the sliced onions and a pinch of salt. Cook slowly for about 10-15 minutes, stirring occasionally until the onions are golden brown and caramelized.

  2. 2

    Prepare the Eggs

    In a bowl, whisk the eggs with salt and pepper. In another skillet, heat the remaining tablespoon of olive oil over medium heat. Pour the beaten eggs into the skillet and scramble gently until cooked through.

  3. 3

    Assemble the Tortas

    On each tortilla, layer the scrambled eggs, caramelized onions, and crumbled queso fresco. Fold the tortillas in half and serve warm.
