Notes

Notes
If your eggs are very small prepare with 5 eggs instead of 4. Do not allow the vegetables or the eggs to brown. A non-stick pan works best. If you want the dish to be hotter, add 1 extra serrano chile to the recipe. If you want it to be blazing hot, add 2. You can omit the cilantro and garlic if you choose. You will still have authentic huevo a la Mexicana.
Substitutions
You can substitute jalapeño chiles for the serranos. The dish won't be quite as hot with jalapeños but still tasty.
Don't substitute yellow onions for the white onions. The flavor won't be right.
