Instructions
1
In a medium bowl, whisk together the beaten eggs, a pinch of salt, a dash of pepper, and a tiny splash of water until well combined and slightly frothy.
2
Heat a nonstick skillet over medium heat and either lightly coat it with cooking spray or melt a small dab of margarine.
3
Pour the egg mixture into the skillet and gently scramble using a spatula, cooking until the eggs are just set, light, and fluffy, about 2-3 minutes. Remove from heat.
4
While eggs are cooking, carefully heat the flour tortilla over an open flame, turning it for a few seconds on each side until warmed and slightly charred. (Alternatively, you can microwave it for about 10-15 seconds.)
5
Lay the heated tortilla flat on a plate. Spoon the fluffy scrambled eggs down the center, then sprinkle the shredded cheddar cheese over the top.
6
Drizzle the taco sauce over the cheese, then carefully roll the tortilla from one end to the other to form a burrito shape, tucking in the sides as you go.
7
Serve immediately, optionally with extra taco sauce on the side for dipping.
