Method

  1. Place a wide non-stick pan over a medium heat and add the butter. When melted, add the eggs and gently scramble. When just cooked, remove from the heat and sprinkle over half the tomato mixture, half the cheese and half the tortilla strips. Give the mixture a quick stir, then spoon onto serving plates. Top with the remaining tortilla strips, cheese, sour cream and finally the rest of the tomato mixture.
