Tomato and Egg Tostadas

Ingredients:

4 eggs
1/4 cup (50 mL) milk
Salt and pepper, to taste
2 tbsp (30 mL) butter or margarine
1 large tomato, diced
1/4 cup (50 mL) each, diced red and orange peppers
1 tsp (5 mL) chili powder (optional)
8 tostada shells*
1/2 cup (125 mL) shredded Cheddar cheese
1/2 cup (125 mL) chunky salsa
1/2 cup (125 mL) shredded lettuce

Instructions:

Whisk together eggs, milk, salt and pepper; set aside. Melt butter or margarine in a skillet over medium heat. Add tomato, peppers and chili powder (if using) and saute until pepper are tender, about 5 minutes. Pour egg mixture into the skillet and cook, stirring gently, until eggs are just set, about 5 minutes. Divide egg mixture equally over the tostada shells. Place cheese, salsa and shredded lettuce in separate bowls so that kids can customize their meal by adding the toppings they like.

*Tostada shells are sold in the grocery aisle with the Mexican foods. If you cannot find tostada shells, use taco shells instead.
