  4. Take a warm tortilla, spoon scrambled eggs into the center, followed by a generous scoop of cottage cheese.
  5. Sprinkle diced tomatoes and chopped fresh cilantro over the cottage cheese, then add shredded cheddar cheese and avocado slices.
  6. To finalize, add a dollop of sour cream on top and drizzle with salsa if desired. Serve immediately.
