Ingredients

  • 1 tablespoon olive oil
  • 2 cups bell pepper (finely chopped)
  • 1 tablespoon olive oil
  • 8 eggs
  • salt & pepper
  • 1 cup ham (cut into small cubes)
  • 2 cups shredded cheese
  • 8 tortillas (large; 12 inch)

Instructions

  • Heat 1 tablespoon of olive oil over medium heat in a non-stick pan. Add the bell pepper and cook for 5-7 minutes, until soft. Transfer to a plate and allow to cool slightly.
