- Preheat your oven to 375°F.
- Whisk the eggs, cheese, cilantro, salt, pepper, and 1 tablespoon olive oil in a bowl; set aside.
- Heat a 10-inch cast-iron skillet over medium heat.
- When hot, add the remaining 3 tablespoons olive oil, the red onion, bell pepper, and jalapeño, and sauté until tender.
- Transfer the vegetables to a separate bowl.
- Use tongs to place the tortilla in the skillet and press the edges against the sides of the pan.
- Add back the vegetables and then pour in the egg mixture.
- Bake until firm, about 20 minutes.
- Keeping an oven mitt on the handle of the hot skillet, run a spatula around the edge of the torta and then cut it into quarters.
