How to Make Mexican Egg Frittata

Heat 1 tablespoon olive oil in a large nonstick skillet over medium-high heat.
Add 4 corn tortillas, one at a time, to the skillet and cook for 1-2 minutes per side, until golden brown and crispy. Remove and drain on paper towels; keep warm.
In a large bowl, whisk together 6 large eggs, 1/4 cup chopped cilantro, 1/4 cup chopped onion, 1/2 cup shredded Monterey Jack cheese, 1/4 cup diced bell pepper (any color), and a pinch of salt and pepper.
Lightly spray the same skillet with cooking spray and heat over medium heat.
Pour the egg mixture into the skillet and cook, stirring occasionally, until the eggs are set but still slightly moist, about 5-7 minutes.
Spoon a portion of the egg mixture onto each crispy tortilla.
Top with 2 tablespoons of pecan sauce (recipe below) and optional extra shredded cheese.
Serve immediately and enjoy!
