Chop the tomato, green bell pepper, and onion into small, uniform pieces to ensure even cooking.
In a medium mixing bowl, crack 4 large eggs and add 2 additional egg whites. Add 2 tablespoons of skim milk and whisk together until well blended. Season with 0.25 teaspoon of salt and 0.25 teaspoon of black pepper.
Heat a non-stick skillet over medium heat and lightly grease it with olive oil spray.
Add the chopped onion and green bell pepper to the skillet. Sauté for about 3 to 4 minutes, or until the vegetables are slightly softened but still retain some crunch.
Stir in the chopped tomato and cook for another 2 minutes until it is slightly softened.
Reduce the heat to low and pour the egg mixture into the skillet. Allow it to sit undisturbed for about 30 seconds to start setting.
Using a spatula, gently stir the eggs, moving them from the edges towards the center. Continue to stir and fold the eggs every few seconds until they are cooked but still slightly runny, as they will continue to cook from residual heat.
Remove the skillet from the heat and sprinkle the eggs with fresh cilantro for added flavor.
Serve the low-fat huevo revuelto immediately with a side of whole-grain toast or a fresh salad for a well-rounded meal.
