🍳 5-Minute Stovetop Game Plan
- Crack & scramble. Whisk eggs in a bowl like you mean it.
- Sizzle bacon. If it’s not pre-cooked, fry it now. Chop it up.
- Egg time. Scramble in the same pan—lazy level: expert.
- Assemble. Lay tortilla flat, sprinkle cheese, add eggs & bacon, top with more cheese (because cheese).
- Fold & fry. Fold in half, slide back into the pan with butter. 2 mins per side = golden, crispy perfection.
- Slice & devour. Cut into triangles because triangles taste better. 😉
