Method

Preparation

  1. 1

    Prepare the Vegetables

    Dice the bell pepper and onion into small pieces.

  2. 2

    Whisk the Eggs

    In a bowl, crack open the eggs and whisk them until well combined. Set aside.

Cooking

  1. 3

    Sauté Vegetables

    In a large skillet, heat the olive oil over medium heat. Add the diced onion and bell pepper, and sauté for about 5 minutes, or until they are soft and slightly caramelized.

  2. 4

    Add Shredded Pork

    Stir in the shredded pork and cook for another 2-3 minutes until heated through.

  3. 5

    Season the Mixture

    Add salt, black pepper, and cumin to the mixture, stirring to combine evenly.

  4. 6

    Scramble the Eggs

    Pour the whisked eggs over the pork and vegetable mixture. Allow the eggs to sit for a few seconds, then gently stir, allowing the eggs to cook evenly. Cook until the eggs are just set but still creamy, about 3-4 minutes.

  5. 7

    Add Cheese

    Sprinkle the shredded cheddar cheese over the eggs and stir until melted and evenly distributed.

Serving

  1. 8

    Warm the Tortillas

    In a separate skillet or microwave, warm the flour tortillas until pliable.
