Instructions
Prep. Chop the corn tortillas into bite-sized pieces. Dice the bell peppers, jalapeno pepper, onions, and garlic.
Crisp the chopped corn tortillas. In a large cast iron skillet, add a little extra-virgin olive oil. Add the chopped corn tortillas and let cook, stirring occasionally until the tortillas are crisp and golden brown. Remove tortillas to a plate.
Saute veggies. Add a little more olive oil to the skillet and add the diced peppers, onions, and seasonings (ground cumin, kosher salt, and black pepper). Cook until softened. Then add the minced garlic and cook for another 30 seconds.
Combine eggs and half and half. In a medium bowl, combine the eggs and half and half. Use a whisk to mix well.
Cook eggs. Reduce heat to medium and then add the eggs to the skillet. Cook until eggs are set, stirring frequently. Don't over-cook!
Add cheese and tortillas back. Add Mexican cheese and the crispy tortilla pieces back to the skillet and stir well.
