Ingredients

6 large eggs

1 cup milk (or plant-based milk)

1 cup shredded cheese (cheddar, mozzarella, or your favorite blend)

1 cup diced bell peppers (mixed colors for visual appeal)

1 cup diced tomatoes (fresh or canned)

½ cup sliced green onions

1 cup black beans (cooked or canned, drained and rinsed)

1 teaspoon ground cumin

½ teaspoon smoked paprika

Salt and black pepper to taste

4 large flour or corn tortillas

Olive oil or non-stick cooking spray

Fresh cilantro or parsley for garnish (optional)

Instructions

Preheat the Oven: Preheat your oven to 350°F (175°C).

Whisk the Eggs: In a large mixing bowl, whisk together the eggs, milk, cumin, smoked paprika, salt, and pepper until well combined.

Prepare the Vegetables: Stir in the diced bell peppers, tomatoes, green onions, and black beans into the egg mixture. Mix well to ensure the vegetables are evenly distributed.

Prepare the Tortillas: Lightly grease a 9x13 inch baking dish with olive oil or non-stick cooking spray. Lay two tortillas flat at the bottom, overlapping slightly. You can trim them if needed to fit the dish.

Add the Egg Mixture: Pour half of the egg and vegetable mixture over the tortillas, making sure it covers them evenly. Sprinkle half of the shredded cheese on top.

Layer More Tortillas: Place the remaining two tortillas on top of the egg mixture, then pour the rest of the egg mixture over these tortillas, spreading it evenly. Finish with the remaining cheese on top.

Bake: Place the baking dish in the preheated oven and bake for 30-35 minutes, or until the eggs are fully set and the top is golden and bubbly.

Cool and Garnish: Once cooked, remove the dish from the oven and let it cool for a few minutes. Garnish with fresh cilantro or parsley if desired.

Serve: Slice into squares and serve warm. Enjoy your delicious Baked Egg Tortilla with a side of salsa or avocado for an extra kick!
