Instructions
- Prepare ingredients: chop the red and green bell peppers into 1/2-inch pieces; drain the 4 oz can diced green chiles; crack 1 dozen eggs into a bowl and whisk until whites and yolks are fully combined; have 10 tortillas and 2 cups grated cheese ready.
- Heat a good nonstick frying pan over medium heat and add 1 tablespoon olive oil (use a bit more if your pan needs it).
- Add the chopped bell peppers to the hot pan and cook, stirring occasionally, until they are slightly softened, about 3–4 minutes.
- Add the drained diced green chiles and 2 teaspoons Spike seasoning to the peppers and cook, stirring, about 2 minutes more. Reduce heat if the pan gets too hot.
- If the pan looks dry, add a small additional splash of olive oil. Pour the beaten eggs into the pan with the peppers and immediately reduce the heat to low.
- Cook the eggs gently over low heat, stirring and scraping the sides and bottom of the pan with a rubber spatula or turner, until the eggs are mostly set but still slightly moist — about 7–9 minutes. Turn off the heat while the eggs still look slightly wet (they will finish setting with residual heat).
- Warm the tortillas so they are pliable: either wrap in a damp paper towel and microwave for about 20–30 seconds, or heat briefly in a dry skillet (10–15 seconds per side).
- Divide the egg-and-pepper mixture evenly among the 10 tortillas (about 1/10th per tortilla). Sprinkle the 2 cups grated cheese evenly over the filling in the tortillas.
- Roll up each tortilla into a burrito, folding in the sides as you roll so they stay closed.
- To serve immediately: place burritos seam-side down on a plate and serve. To warm and melt the cheese for a crowd: arrange burritos seam-side down in a slow cooker, cover, and keep on Low until warmed through and the cheese has melted (about 30–60 minutes, checking occasionally).
- Serve hot.
