Directions

  1. COAT 12-inch nonstick skillet with ovenproof handle with cooking spray; HEAT over medium heat until hot. ADD salsa and tomatoes; COOK and STIR 2 minutes. ADD tortilla strips; STIR to coat. COOK 1 minute.

  2. POUR eggs over mixture in skillet. As eggs begin to set, gently PULL the eggs across the pan with an inverted turner, forming large soft curds. CONTINUE cooking — pulling, lifting and folding eggs — until thickened and no visible liquid egg remains. Do not stir constantly.

  3. SPRINKLE cheese over eggs. BROIL 6 inches from heat until cheese softens, 2 to 3 minutes.
