For an extra layer of flavor, consider adding a dash of hot sauce to the egg mixture or serving with a side of your favorite salsa. Feel free to experiment with different types of cheese, such as Monterey Jack or pepper jack, for a unique twist. To make it a complete meal, add some cooked breakfast sausage or bacon to the egg mixture. If you don't have scallions on hand, a small amount of finely chopped onion or shallot can be used as a substitute. For a spicier kick, increase the amount of crushed red pepper flakes to your liking.

01
StepHeat a 10-inch skillet over medium-high heat. Add oil, then add zucchini, scallions, black pepper, oregano, and pepper flakes. Sauté until vegetables are tender, 3 to 4 minutes. Reduce heat to low, cover, and cook for 2 more minutes.
02
StepMeanwhile, crack eggs into a bowl. Add water and whisk until well combined. Stir in Cheddar cheese and salt.
03
StepAdd egg mixture to the skillet and increase the heat to medium. Stir and scramble until eggs are soft-set, 3 to 5 minutes. Remove egg mixture to a plate and wipe the skillet clean with a paper towel.
04
StepSpread 1/4 of the egg mixture onto half of each tortilla. Fold tortillas in half.
05
StepPlace the clean skillet over medium-high heat. Add tortillas, two at a time, to the hot skillet and cook until crisp, about 1 minute per side.
