Ingredients
  

6 large eggs

1 cup milk (whole or 2%)

3 cups fresh spinach, chopped

1 cup cherry tomatoes, halved

1 bell pepper, diced (any color)

1 small onion, finely chopped

2 cloves garlic, minced

6 small corn or flour tortillas

1 cup shredded cheese (cheddar, Monterey Jack, or a blend)

1 teaspoon olive oil

1 teaspoon salt

½ teaspoon black pepper

½ teaspoon paprika (optional)

Fresh cilantro or parsley, for garnish (optional)

Instructions
 

Preheat the Oven: Preheat your oven to 350°F (175°C).

    Prepare the Veggies: In a large skillet over medium heat, heat the olive oil. Add the onion and garlic, sautéing for about 2-3 minutes until the onion becomes translucent.

      Add Spinach and Peppers: Mix in the chopped spinach and diced bell pepper. Cook for an additional 3-4 minutes, or until the spinach is wilted. Season with salt, pepper, and paprika (if using). Remove from heat and let cool slightly.

        Whisk the Eggs and Milk: In a large mixing bowl, whisk together the eggs and milk until well combined. Set aside.

          Layer the Tortillas: In a greased 9x13 inch baking dish, layer 3 tortillas on the bottom, tearing them if necessary to cover the entire surface.

            Add the Filling: Spread half of the spinach and pepper mixture over the tortillas. Spoon some of the halved cherry tomatoes on top and sprinkle with half of the shredded cheese.

              Repeat Layers: Add another layer of tortillas, followed by the remaining spinach mixture, tomatoes, and shredded cheese.

                Pour Egg Mixture: Pour the whisked egg and milk mixture evenly over the layered tortillas and fillings, ensuring everything is well soaked.

                  Bake: Place the baking dish in the preheated oven and bake for 25-30 minutes, or until the egg is set and the top is golden brown.

                    Cool and Serve: Remove from the oven and let it sit for about 5 minutes. Garnish with fresh cilantro or parsley if desired and cut into squares to serve.
