  • Cook until the egg white is set but the yolk is still runny.
  • Carefully lift the cheese and egg disk from the pan and place it on a warm corn tortilla.

Notes

Best enjoyed fresh as the cheese can become chewy if left to sit. You can prepare toppings ahead of time for a quick assembly in the morning.
