1/2 cup bell peppers, diced
1/4 cup onions, diced
Salt and pepper to taste
Oil or butter for cooking

Directions:

In a bowl, whisk the eggs with salt and pepper.
In a skillet over medium heat, cook the onions and bell peppers until softened.
Add in the cooked bacon and sausage, then pour in the beaten eggs. Cook, stirring gently, until the eggs are fluffy and cooked through.
Place one tortilla in a separate skillet over medium heat. Sprinkle half of the cheese over the tortilla.
Add half of the egg mixture on top of the cheese, then sprinkle the remaining cheese on top.
