Method
 

Step‑By‑Step Instructions
  1. Whisk the Eggs: Crack eggs into a bowl, add cream, salt, and pepper. Whisk until smooth and slightly frothy in about 1-2 minutes.
  2. Cook the Eggs: Preheat a skillet over medium-low heat. Pour in eggs and gently stir with a spatula until soft, moist curds form (3-4 minutes). Remove from heat.
  3. Prepare the Skillet for Tortillas: Clean skillet, increase heat to medium, add butter, and let it melt until sizzling.
  4. Heat the Tortillas: Wrap tortillas in damp paper towel and microwave for about 15 seconds to keep them pliable.
  5. Sear the Cheese: Create a circle of cheese in the hot skillet, place a tortilla on top, cook until the cheese fuses with tortilla and browns (about 30-60 seconds).
  6. Fill the Tortillas: Fill each crispy tortilla with scrambled eggs and cooked chorizo. Top with avocado slices and cilantro.
  7. Add Final Touches and Serve: Squeeze fresh lime juice over filled tortillas, arrange on a plate, and enjoy.
