 Preheat the oven to 350 degrees. Heat a large skillet.
 Toast the cut tortillas on the dry skillet over
 moderate heat, stirring occasionally, until they are
 crisp. Transfer to a plate to cool. Heat the oil in
 the same skillet. Add the onions and saute over
 moderate heat until transplucent. Add the garlic and
 pepper and saute until the onion turns golden and the
 peppers soften. Add the tomatoes and saute for another
 2 to 3 minutes, just until they soften a bit. Combine
 the beaten eggs with the milk in a mixing bowl. Stir
 in the mixture from the skillet, the tortilla bits,
 and all the remaining ingredients. Oil two 9-inch pie
 tins and divide the mixture among them. Bake for 25 to
 30 minutes, or until set and golden on top. Let stand
 for 10 minutes before serving, then cut into wedges to
 serve. Source: Vegetarian Celebrations by Nava Atlas
