  • Green bell pepper (1, finely chopped)
  • Tomato (1, finely chopped)

Instructions

  2. Heat the olive oil in a non-stick skillet over medium heat.
  3. Add the finely chopped onion, tomato, bell pepper, and jalapeno to the skillet. Sauté until the vegetables are soft and fragrant, about 5 minutes.
  4. Pour the beaten eggs over the sautéed vegetables in the skillet. Allow the eggs to cook undisturbed until they start to set around the edges, this should take about 2 minutes.
