Prep Time: 5 mins
Cook Time: 4 mins
Total Time: 9 mins
Servings: 1

Ingredients

* 2 teaspoons butter

* 1 large egg

* 1/4 teaspoon taco seasoning, or to taste

* 1 1/2 ounces shredded Cheddar cheese, divided

* 1 (6 to 7-inch) flour tortilla

Directions

Step 1

In a 10-inch nonstick skillet, melt butter over medium heat, and swirl the pan to coat the bottom evenly.

Step 2

Carefully break egg into buttered skillet and cook until egg white is opaque and egg is firm enough to turn, about 1 minute.

Step 3

Turn egg over, being careful not to break yolk; sprinkle with taco seasoning and about half of cheese.

Step 4

Gently place tortilla over egg and cheese, and cook about 1 minute. Using a silicone egg turner, flip the egg and tortilla, as one.

Step 5

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.

Step 6

Slide tortilla and egg to a serving plate and serve warm.
