Ingredients

3 corn tortillas (6 inches), cut into thin strips
4 teaspoons olive oil, divided
2 tablespoons chopped onion
1 jalapeno pepper, seeded and chopped
4 eggs, lightly beaten
1 plum tomato, chopped
1/4 cup shredded cooked roast beef
1/8 teaspoon salt
1/8 teaspoon pepper
1/4 cup shredded Monterey Jack cheese

Directions

In a large nonstick skillet, cook tortilla strips in 2 teaspoons oil for 5 minutes or until lightly golden brown but not crisp. Add the onion, jalapeno and remaining oil; cook 2 minutes longer.

Add the eggs, tomato, beef, salt and pepper; cook and stir until eggs are completely set. Sprinkle with cheese; cover and let stand for 2-3 minutes until cheese is melted.

Peppers (Hot)

Wear disposable gloves when cutting hot peppers; the oils can burn skin. Avoid touching your face.
