1 tsp. lemon juice
2 Tbs. olive oil
1 red bell pepper, seeded and cut into 1 inch pieces
1 green bell pepper, seeded and cut into 1 inch pieces

2 Tbs. unsalted butter
8 eggs, beaten
6 ounces Monterey Jack cheese, grated
1 cup salsa
Preheat oven to 200°F. Wrap tortillas in aluminum foil and place in oven to keep warm. Sprinkle avocado slices with lemon juice to prevent browning and set aside. Heat oil in a heavy nonstick skillet over medium high heat. Add bell peppers and onion to skillet and sauté about 8 minutes or until just browned. Add garlic and jalapeño pepper and sauté another 2 minutes. Stir in stock and cilantro. Increase heat to medium high and bring to a boil. Cover skillet and reduce heat to medium. Steam 2-3 minutes. Place pepper mixture in a colander to drain. Set aside and keep warm. Wipe skillet clean with a paper towel. Melt butter in skillet over medium heat. Pour beaten eggs into skillet and cook 3-4 minutes, stirring frequently until eggs are set but still soft. Place 1 tortilla on each plate. Top with scrambled eggs and pepper mixture.
