Directions

Step 1

In a medium skillet, heat 2 teaspoons of olive oil over medium heat.

Step 2

Add the diced red bell pepper and onion to the skillet and sauté for 3-4 minutes until they begin to soften.

Step 6

Gently fold the vegetables into the eggs until everything is well combined and heated through.

Step 7

Warm the whole grain tortillas in a separate pan or in the oven during the last few minutes of cooking.
