Ingredients
  

Chipotle Salsa

  • 2 tablespoon coconut oil
  • 2 teaspoon crushed red pepper flakes
  • 2 teaspoon fresh garlic minced
  • ½ medium shallot finely diced
  • 2 teaspoon dried oregano
  • ½ cup low-carb tomato sauce like Rao's
  • 1 tablespoon chipotle peppers in adobo sauce chopped
  • salt and pepper to taste

Egg Tortilla

  • 2 cup mexican-style cheese blend
  • 4 large egg
  • 1 medium avocado sliced
  • ½ medium lime sliced into wedges
  • ¼ cup fresh cilantro chopped

Instructions
 

  • Over medium, heat coconut oil then add crushed red pepper flakes until shimmering. Remove from heat. Let sit for a few minutes to infuse flavor. Strain and discard solids.
  • Heat most of the chili oil over medium. Add shallots and onion. Sautee until aromatic. Add oregano, tomato sauce, and chipotle chili. Continue to cook until reduced. Set aside.
  • Using a paper towel, spread a thin coating of the remaining chili oil onto a non-stick pan. Spread an even layer of cheese on the pan, covering the bottom. Cook over low to medium-low heat.
  • When the cheese starts to melt and form a cohesive layer, break eggs. Cover with lid. Cook low and slow until the whites start to settle.
  • Once the whites cooked and the edges of the cheese start to peel away from the side of the pan, increase heat to medium to medium-high. Hereon, everything will cook faster. We are looking for a crisp layer of cheese.
  • The “tortilla” is done when the bottom layer is uniform and golden. Repeat this process to get more cheese and egg "tortillas".
  • To serve, transfer cheese and egg tortilla to a plate. Spoon some chili salsa over and sprinkle with cilantro. Serve with avocado slices and lime wedges.
