Leftovers for breakfast

Leftovers for Breakfast
 
This morning I wondered what to do with the tortillas staring at from top of the microwave. I wanted something simple and this is what turned out.
 
I USED...
A few sprigs of flat parsley chopped, fresh cilantro chopped, one whole green onion thinly sliced separate the green from the white, one whole egg, one egg white, heavy cream approx. 1 TBSP, 1 slice Swiss cheese cut into 4 squares, 1/4 cup grated Parmesan cheese, 2 cups fresh baby spinach, Ghee, sea salt, pepper flakes, vegetable oil, 1/2 TBSP butter and some Olive oil, 2 corn tortillas, 1/4 cup x 2 leftover cooked black rice.
-To start, I fried the tortillas in vegetable oil (using just enough oil to fry them NOT deep fry them) until golden on both side, drain on paper towel, set aside.
-Then, whisk the eggs in a bowl with the heavy cream and any seasoning you like. I used garlic powder, curry powder, pepper flakes, sea salt, parsley, cilantro, and whites of the green onion
-Heat a med - lrg skillet with Ghee (if you don't have Ghee use the 1/2 TBSP of butter + a little Olive oil) over medium heat, sauté the spinach, then pour in the eggs, reduce the heat and swish around the eggs to evenly distribute the mixture to cover the skillet.
-Cook on reduced heat until the eggs settles, add the Parmesan cheese, cook until it melts, at this point the edges of the eggs should be dry, remove skillet from heat and divide the eggs in half using a spatula and fold over
-Using a  two 1/4 microwavable measuring cup heat the black rice up with a few drops of Olive oil until heated
-Arrange the tortillas on a plate, top with folded eggs, the black rice, Swiss cheese, and green onions
-Serve with salsa or seasoned dice Roma tomatoes
