Mexican Scrambled Eggs

We got this from my step-son. His step-dad makes this at home for him. We tried it and love it. You could add lots of things to this like cheese, onions, peppers, or even hot sauce, but we think it's great as is. (My husband adds ketchup, but he does that to all of his eggs, ick!) I have tried omitting the step of pre-crisping the tortillas strips (in order to save on fat and calories) and it just wasn't the same. The small amount of fat and time in this step makes all the difference in taste.
