Servings 4

Ingredients

  • 8 large eggs
  • 2 medium tomatoes diced (about 1 cup)
  • 1 small white onion finely diced (about 1/2 cup)
  • 1-2 jalapeño or serrano peppers seeds removed if desired, minced
  • 1/4 cup fresh cilantro chopped, plus more for garnish
  • 1 tablespoon butter or oil for cooking
  • 1/2 teaspoon salt or to taste
  • 1/4 teaspoon freshly ground black pepper
  • Warm tortillas for serving (optional)

Instructions

  • In a medium bowl, crack the eggs and whisk until just combined. Season with a pinch of salt and pepper.
  • Heat a large non-stick skillet over medium heat. Add butter or oil and allow it to melt and coat the pan.
  • Add the diced onion and sauté for 1-2 minutes until translucent but not browned.
  • Add the minced jalapeño and cook for another 30 seconds.
  • Add the diced tomatoes and cook for 1-2 minutes until they begin to soften and release some juice.
  • Pour the beaten eggs into the pan and let them set for about 30 seconds.
  • Using a wooden spoon or silicone spatula, gently pull the edges toward the center, allowing uncooked egg to flow to the edges.
  • Continue this gentle folding motion until eggs are almost set but still appear slightly moist, about 2-3 minutes.
  • Remove from heat, sprinkle with fresh cilantro, and fold it in gently.
  • Taste and adjust seasoning with additional salt and pepper if needed.
  • Serve immediately with warm tortillas if desired.
