Recipe: Breakfast Tortilla with egg, cheese, and avocado

This breakfast tortilla is ideal for breakfast or brunch. It was Tina who taught me how to make the breakfast tortilla, and it has quickly become one of my favorite weekend brunch dishes. It’s easy to make, quick to prepare, and you can experiment with the fillings to suit your taste. The combination of scrambled eggs, melted cheese, crispy bacon bits, and fresh cilantro in a warm tortilla is simply delicious.

The breakfast tortilla gets even better with fermented chili sauce. Fermented chili sauce is a fairly new discovery for me, and I love how it tingles on my tongue, adding a unique depth and well-rounded spiciness that pairs wonderfully with the savory ingredients.

I’ve had really good experiences with the Ninja air fryers. They’re easy to use, the quality feels solid, and the results are consistently great. I like that you don’t have to fuss around with settings to get good food out of it. Vegetables turn out crisp without drying out, and chicken comes out juicy with a nice golden crust. It’s one of those kitchen gadgets that actually lives up to the hype and ends up being used all the time.

Caraway Nonstick Ceramic Frying Pan (2.7 qt, 10.5")
$115.00

Caraway recently launched on Amazon, and their cookware is as pretty as it is practical. The Caraway 10.5" Nonstick Ceramic Frying Pan is one of those pieces you’ll find yourself reaching for all the time, whether it’s for eggs, sautéed veggies, or pancakes on the weekend. I especially love it in Perracotta, which adds such a nice pop of color in the kitchen.

The naturally non-stick surface means you can cook with less oil or butter, and cleanup is quick with just a wipe or light wash. Like all of Caraway’s cookware, the pan is free from PTFE, PFOA, PFAS, lead, and cadmium, so you don’t have to worry about toxins sneaking into your food.

It works on all stovetops, gas, electric, and induction, and it’s oven-safe up to 550ºF, which makes it super versatile. Durable, easy to use, and so good-looking, this is a pan that really makes everyday cooking feel a little more special.
