  • Add the beaten eggs to the skillet and lightly fold them together with the pepper mixture. Cook, stirring, until the eggs are just set, about 3 minutes To serve, fill each of the warm tortillas with one-fourth of the cooked egg mixture, roll the tortilla around the filling and top with 1/4 cup shredded lettuce and 1 tbsp salsa.
