In a large bowl, toss the shredded chicken with Tapatio hot sauce and 1/4 teaspoon of freshly ground black pepper. Set aside.
In a large skillet, melt 1 tablespoon of butter over medium heat. Add the chopped green bell pepper and onion and sauté for 2-3 minutes, until softened.
Add the chicken to the skillet and cook for another 2 minutes, stirring occasionally.
In a medium bowl, lightly whisk together the eggs and milk.
Pour the egg mixture into the skillet with the chicken and vegetables.
Add 1/2 cup of your favorite salsa to the skillet.
Cook the eggs, stirring occasionally, until they are almost set but still slightly moist.
Sprinkle in 1/2 teaspoon garlic powder, 1/2 teaspoon oregano, 1/4 teaspoon cayenne pepper (or more, to taste), and a dash of freshly ground black pepper.
Add 1/2 cup of shredded cheese to the skillet and allow it to melt into the scramble.
Serve immediately with warm tortillas and optional refried beans. Enjoy!
