Instructions

  • Warm the olive oil in a large nonstick skillet over medium heat.
  • Cook the onion and bell pepper for 3 to 4 minutes, until slightly softened.
  • Stir in the ham, tomatoes, cumin, salt, and pepper and cook for 2 minutes.
  • Pour in the beaten eggs and gently stir until curds form and the eggs are just set.
  • Remove from the heat, fold in the cilantro, and serve immediately.

Notes

Keep the eggs moving gently and remove the skillet while they still look softly set; carryover heat will finish them.
