Method

1

Dice the bell pepper and onion into small pieces. If using raw protein such as ground meat or sausage, cook it separately in a small skillet over medium-high heat until no longer pink, breaking it apart with a spatula; drain excess fat if needed. If using pre-cooked protein like bacon or ham, skip cooking and set aside.

2

Heat 1 tbsp olive oil in a large skillet over medium heat. Add diced onion and bell pepper; sauté for 3–4 minutes until softened.

3

Add cooked protein to the skillet and stir to combine; warm through for 1 minute.

4

Crack eggs into a small bowl and whisk with salt and black pepper. Pour into the skillet with the vegetables and protein. Scramble gently with a spatula for 2–3 minutes until eggs are soft-set but not fully firm.

5

Sprinkle shredded cheese over the egg mixture and fold to combine. Remove from heat.

6

Warm the flour tortilla by holding it briefly over a stovetop flame or heating it in a dry skillet for 10 seconds per side. Place tortilla on a clean surface.

7

Spoon the egg-and-protein filling into the center of the tortilla, leaving a 1-inch border on all sides. Fold the bottom edge up and over the filling, then fold in the sides and roll tightly away from you.

8

Serve immediately while warm. Optionally wrap in foil or parchment to keep warm and contain any drips.
