# Expert Tips:
01 -
- It is incredibly fast to throw together even when you are half asleep
- The combinations are endless so you never get bored
02 -
- Overcooking the eggs will make them rubbery so take them off the heat while they still look slightly wet
- Warming the tortillas is crucial because cold ones crack and fall apart immediately
03 -
- Grate the cheese from a block instead of buying bags for a smoother melt
- Dice the vegetables the same size so every bite is consistent
