lots of veggies, corn tortillas, eggs and cheese make up this Tex-Mex classic.
Ingredients
  • 1 Tablespoon olive oil
  • 1 cup chopped onion
  • 1 cup diced poblano pepper (can sub green bell pepper)
  • 1 cup chopped red bell pepper
  • 1 jalapeño pepper, diced
  • 4 corn tortillas, cut in half, then into stripes or squares (cooked until crisp if using raw tortillas)
  • 7 extra-large eggs or 8 large, beaten with a splash of water or milk
  • 1 cup of shredded cheddar cheese
  • 3 sliced green onions
  • Salt and pepper
  • Hot sauce
  • Toppings (optional): avocado, sour cream, cilantro
Instructions
  1. In a large non-stick skillet heat oil over medium heat, cook vegetables for ~8 minutes, reduce heat to medium-low add tortillas and cook for another 1-2 minutes or until vegetables are tender. Season with salt and pepper. Add eggs, slowly stir until almost cooked through, then add shredded cheese and stir until melted. Taste and season with additional salt and pepper if needed.
  2. Transfer to serving plates and garnish with sliced green onions and hot sauce and optional toppings such as avocado, sour cream and cilantro.
Notes
you can find the raw corn tortillas in the refrigerated section of the grocery store. When cooking them on the skillet, follow the package instructions but let them get extra crisp before adding to the eggs. If using regular corn-tortillas, fry them in a little oil before cutting into strips.
