Add the oil to a large skillet with the onions, stirring occasionally, until the onions have softened. Add bell pepper. Cover and simmer very slowly, stirring occasionally, until pepper is half done. Add tomatoes and continue to simmer, covered, until peppers and tomatoes are soft.

Beat the eggs and add to the pot, mixing well. Simmer, covered, for 5 minutes.
