Ingredients

  • 1 Red bell pepper
  • 1/2 Green bell pepper
  • 1/2 Red onion
  • 3 Roma tomatoes with excess juice drained
  • ½ cup Vegetable oil plus 2 tablespoons
  • 6 Corn Tortillas
  • 9 Eggs beaten
  • 1 tsp Cumin roasted or regular
  • 1 tsp Chile Powder roasted or regular
  • 1 tsp Sea salt
  • 1 tsp Black pepper
  • 2 tbsp Roasted garlic jarred or fresh
  • 1 cup Monterrey Jack cheese grated
  • ¼ cup Cilantro chopped

Instructions

  • Dice peppers, onion, and tomatoes into small pieces.
  • Add about 2 tablespoons of oil in a medium skillet. Add chopped veggies and allow to cook for about 6-8 minutes until the veggies are significantly softened but not completely caramelized.
  • Heat 1/2 cup vegetable oil in a second skillet on medium-high heat.
  • Shred tortillas into bite-size pieces.
  • When oil is hot, add the torn tortilla pieces and brown until crispy (about 5-6 minutes) in second skillet. You may need to fry the tortillas in two batches.
  • Remove tortillas to allow to drain on paper towel-lined plate for a minute or so.
  • Add tortilla pieces to the first skillet with the chopped veggies.
  • Beat eggs in mixing bowl or large glass.
  • Slowly pour the eggs into the pan over the veggies and tortillas.
  • Evenly sprinkle on seasonings.
  • Allow the mixture to cook for about 5-6 minutes or until the eggs appear done. You will gently fold the eggs over once or twice during the cooking process. Eggs should be firm and appear to have an omelette type of consistency.
  • Grate cheese.
  • Garnish with grated cheese and cilantro.
