  11. When the butter begins to sizzle, add 2 eggs to the pan.
  12. Let the eggs cook for a few minutes.
  13. Cover with a pan lid to make sure the egg white is cooked through and not runny.
  14. Remove the cooked eggs from the pan and transfer to a covered plate to keep warm.
  15. Repeat with the remaining 2 eggs.
  16. Place two tortillas on two plates each.
