Dice the tomatoes, bell pepper, and onion. Mince the garlic. Lightly beat the eggs in a bowl.

Heat olive oil in a cast-iron skillet over medium heat.

3

Add the diced onion and sauté for 2 minutes until softened. Add garlic and cook for 30 seconds until fragrant.

4

Stir in the bell pepper and tomato; cook for 3–4 minutes, stirring occasionally, until the vegetables begin to soften and the tomatoes release their juices.

5

Sprinkle paprika, salt, and black pepper over the vegetables and stir to coat.

6

Pour in the beaten eggs and stir gently and continuously until they are softly scrambled and just cooked through, about 2–3 minutes. Do not overcook.
