Ingredients

Servings
  • 4 egg
  • 2 small Roma tomato
  • 2 Serrano peppers
  • ¼ onion small
  • 1 tablespoon neutral oil
  • salt to taste
  • 2 tablespoon cilantro diced, optional

Instructions

  1. Wash and dice the serranos, tomatoes and onions into small pieces.
  2. Add oil to a pan over medium-high heat.
  3. Once hot, add the diced serranos and onion. Sauté until soft and fragrant, about 2 minutes.
  4. Add tomato and sauté until most of the liquid has evaporated, about 3-4 minutes.
  5. Meanwhile, crack eggs into a bowl and season with a pinch of salt.
  6. Use a fork or whisk to whip the eggs until mixed.
  7. Lower heat to medium low.
  8. Pour the eggs over the veggies in the pan.
  9. Stir the eggs and the veggies together until the eggs are cooked to your liking.
  10. Garnish with freshly diced cilantro and serve.
  11. Serve this Mexican scramble by itself, with a side of refried beans, or inside of warm tortillas for breakfast tacos or burritos. It is also great garnished with queso fresco or slices of avocado and a fresh salsa.

Notes

  • Use jalapeños instead of serrano peppers for a milder result or a mix of the two.
  • Add some extra, amazing flavor by substituting the oil for bacon fat.
  • Some people also like to use butter instead of oil to sauté their veggies and eggs.
