Ingredients
6 large eggs
2 large flour tortillas
1/2 cup milk
1/2 cup shredded cheddar cheese
1/4 cup mozzarella cheese

1 cup fresh spinach, chopped
1 small tomato, diced
1 tablespoon olive oil
1/2 teaspoon salt
1/4 teaspoon black pepper

Instructions
- Preheat the oven to 375°F (190°C) and lightly grease a round baking dish or oven-safe skillet with olive oil.
- Press one tortilla into the bottom of the prepared dish, gently pushing it up the sides to form a base.
- In a large bowl, whisk together the eggs, milk, salt, black pepper, paprika, and oregano until smooth.
- Evenly sprinkle the chopped bell pepper, red onion, spinach, and tomato over the tortilla base.
- Pour the egg mixture evenly over the vegetables.
- Sprinkle the cheddar and mozzarella cheese evenly over the top.
- Place the second tortilla on top and gently press it into the egg mixture.
