instructions
    1

    Begin by slicing the sausage into bite-sized pieces. Chop the onion and bell pepper.

    2

    In a skillet, heat 2 tablespoons of olive oil over medium heat, about 2 minutes.

    3

    Add the sausage and cook until browned, approximately 5 minutes, stirring frequently.

    4

    Incorporate the chopped onion and bell pepper to the skillet and sauté until softened, about 5 more minutes.

    5

    Meanwhile, crack the eggs into a bowl. Add salt and pepper, and whisk until well combined.

    6

    Once the vegetables are tender, pour the egg mixture over the sausage and veggies in the skillet. Cook without stirring for about 3-4 minutes until the edges begin to set.

    7

    Gently lift the edges with a spatula and tilt the skillet to let the uncooked eggs flow underneath.

    8

    After about 5-7 minutes, sprinkle the cheese evenly over one half of the tortilla filling. Use a spatula to fold the other half of the tortilla over the cheese.

    9

    Let it cook for another 2 minutes to allow the cheese to melt.

    10

    Once done, slide the tortilla onto a plate, slice into wedges, and serve hot.
