This delicious, healthy breakfast is a regular feature for Sunday brunch in our house. It fills us up right through until dinner time and I find it a better option than a sausage and bacon fry up if we are eating a very meaty late lunch.
A great way to use up peppers, a vegetable that I always seem to have an over abundance of in my house.
Traditionally served with tortillas, I usually serve mine with slices of toast made with home made bread.
If you like your food very spicy, feel free to add a little cayenne, but I find this hot enough for me.
