- Crack eggs into a bowl. Add seasoning (garlic powder, salt and red pepper flakes), and whisk until scrambled.
- Check on the tortillas and remove from heat if warmed. If not warmed yet, leave them on the hot grate until the eggs finish cooking.Add eggs to the hot pan. Top with shredded cheese.
- Begin stirring the eggs in the pan. Once they begin to scramble, but before they're done cooking, remove the pan from heat and allow the eggs to finish cooking off-heat. (The pan is still plenty hot and they will continue cooking.)
- Remove eggs from hot pan and place in a clean bowl. (Do not leave them in the pan because they'll overcook.)Divide eggs and filling ingredients between the warm tortillas, and serve the breakfast tacos right away.
