Total Time: 9 mins Preparation Time: 5 mins Cook Time: 4 mins

Ingredients

• Servings: 4
• 6 -8 eggs, well beaten
• 1 onion, small and chopped
• 1/3 red bell pepper, chopped
• 1 tomato, large and chopped
• 2 garlic cloves, minced
• 1 teaspoon cilantro, fresh minced
• 5 dashes salt and pepper (or to taste)
• 3 -4 tablespoons vegetable oil

Recipe

• 1 pour and heat the oil in a frying pan. add and saute the onion, pepper, and the garlic and heat. when these are just about to soften, add the cilantro, the tomato and finally, the beaten eggs.
• 2 these are stirred so as to mix with all the rest of the ingredientes until they are done to your taste (soft or stiff). you will observe that they remain a bit loose and with some liquid---this is normal, and is due to the liquid retained in the tomato.
• 3 once cooked to your taste, add the salt and pepper and serve hot.
• 4 note: the tomato may be squeezed before cutting in order to seed it and to remove excess liquid.
