RECIPE BY: Lazarus

This is so simple I feel guilty calling it a recipe, but it sure is delicious. This is my breakfast staple going on 3 years now.

    Really good breakfast. Added a little extra cheese and salsa, but didn't change anything else. This will be a regular on our breakfast menu. Great eye appeal as well as taste makes this a great breakfast for guests as well. Thanks for posting Lazarus.

    This is soooo good!! My smoke alarm goes nuts if I set the oven much above 400 or try to broil anything, so I set it at the Broil setting but set the oven temp to 425. I don't have oven proof plates, so I used my griddle that can go in the oven. It worked out just fine. I slid the tortilla with everything cooked on it onto a plate, using a spatula. This was easy to make and has ingredients I usually have on hand. I will be making this again and again. Thanks Lorenzo for such a great recipe. Made for PAC ' 'Spring '08.
