Instructions

  1. Step 1

    Warm a 10-inch skillet over medium heat and place tortillas directly on the burner grates, turning with tongs until pliable, ~10 seconds per side. Wrap in a clean kitchen towel to keep warm.

  2. Step 2

    Add butter to the same skillet over medium heat. Once melted and foaming, add shredded brisket and cook without stirring for 1 minute to warm through.

  3. Step 3

    Crack eggs into the skillet and scramble together with the brisket, breaking yolks and stirring constantly until eggs are just set, ~3 minutes.

  4. Step 4

    Season with salt and pepper to taste. Remove from heat.

  5. Step 5

    Spoon brisket-egg mixture onto each warm tortilla and top with salsa. Serve immediately.
