Instructions
1. Cut tortillas into strips. Dice onion, tomato, and chop cilantro. Beat eggs with milk, salt, and pepper. 2. Heat 1 tablespoon butter or oil in a skillet over medium heat. Fry tortilla strips until golden and crispy. Set aside. 3. In the same skillet, sauté onion until translucent, then add tomato and cook for 1 minute. 4. Reduce heat slightly, pour in beaten eggs, and scramble gently. 5. Just before eggs are fully set, stir in crispy tortillas. 6. Sprinkle with cheese and let it melt slightly.
