Stages of cooking
-
In a 10-inch nonstick skillet, melt butter over medium heat, and swirl the pan to coat the bottom evenly.
-
Carefully break egg into buttered skillet and cook until egg white is opaque and egg is firm enough to turn, about 1 minute.
-
Turn egg over, being careful not to break yolk; sprinkle with taco seasoning and about half of cheese.
-
Gently place tortilla over egg and cheese, and cook about 1 minute. Using a silicone egg turner, flip the egg and tortilla, as one.
-
Sprinkle remaining cheese on top of the egg, and continue cooking until the egg is done to your liking and the tortilla is warm and toasty, about 2 minutes.
-
Slide tortilla and egg to a serving plate and serve warm.
