Ingredients
- 1 lb tomatillo husks removed and rinsed
- 2-3 jalapeno pepper stems removed (remove the seeds if you don’t want it spicy
- 1/2 cup water plus more for cooking
- 1/4 cup cilantro chopped
- 1/4 small onion
- 2 cloves garlic
- 1 teaspoon kosher salt
- 1/4 teaspoon cumin ground
- 1 tablespoon olive oil
- 8 large egg beaten
Instructions
- Add tomatillos and jalapenos to a small pot. Add water until the tops are completely covered.
- Bring to a boil over high heat. Lower heat to simmer, cover, and cook for 3 more minutes until the color of the tomatillos begins to deepen.
- Using a slotted spoon, transfer the tomatillos and peppers to a large blender.
- Add 1/2 cup of water, cilantro, onion, garlic, 1 teaspoon of salt, and cumin. Blend until smooth.
- Heat olive oil in a large skillet over medium-high heat. Add eggs and cook for a few minutes, moving them around occasionally to scramble them, until the eggs are firm and lightly browned.
- Add the salsa verde, reduce heat to low, and cook for 5 more minutes.
- Taste and season with salt, if necessary. Serve with warm tortillas and enjoy.
Notes
- When scrambling the eggs, make sure to cook them fully. They should be firm and lightly browned in spots. No soft scrambling here!
- This dish is often served for breakfast and lunch/dinner. It’s a great protein-packed vegetarian meal that’s typically served with a side of refried beans and some corn or flour tortillas.
