Servings: 2
Ingredients
- Olive oil
- 1 tablespoon
- Salt
- 1/4 teaspoon, or to taste
- Black pepper
- 1/4 teaspoon, or to taste
- Avocado

- 1/4 cup
- Fresh mozzarella cheese
- 1/2 cup, sliced

Instructions
- Crack the eggs into a bowl, add salt and pepper, and whisk until well combined.
- Heat olive oil in a non-stick skillet over medium heat.
- Pour the whisked eggs into the skillet. Stir gently with a spatula, scrambling the eggs until they're just set but still soft, about 2-3 minutes.
- Warm the flour tortillas in another skillet over medium heat for about 30 seconds on each side, or you can microwave them for 10-15 seconds.

- Serve immediately while warm. Enjoy your Italian-inspired breakfast!
