Ingredients

2 teaspoons vegetable oil
½ small red or green pepper, diced
½ jalapeño pepper, seeded and diced
1 clove garlic, minced
⅔ cup diced ham
½ teaspoon chili powder
4 large eggs
¼ teaspoon salt
¼ teaspoon black pepper
2 teaspoons butter
4 small whole wheat or regular flour tortillas, warmed
½ cup shredded Tex-Mex or Cheddar cheese
2 green onions, chopped

Topping:

¼ cup salsa
1 tablespoon chopped fresh coriander

Directions

Heat oil in a medium nonstick skillet over medium heat. Sauté red bell pepper, jalapeño pepper, and garlic until softened, about 2 minutes. Add ham and chili powder; sauté until heated through, about 2 minutes. Remove ham mixture to a bowl; cover to keep warm.
Whisk eggs, salt, and pepper in a small bowl or measuring cup.
Melt butter in the same skillet over medium heat; add eggs and cook, stirring gently, until set but still soft, about 2 minutes.
Spoon eggs onto each tortilla. Top with ham mixture, cheese, and onion. Serve with salsa and coriander.

Variation:

Substitute cooked black beans or your favorite beans for the ham to create a vegetarian version.
