Ingredients

• 4 large eggs
• 2 tablespoons milk (optional)
• 1 tablespoon olive oil
• 0.5 medium, diced yellow onion
• 1 medium, diced tomato
• 0.5 small, diced jalapeño (optional)
• 1 clove, minced garlic
• 0.25 teaspoon salt
• 0.25 teaspoon ground black pepper
• 0.25 teaspoon ground cumin
• 2 tablespoons, chopped fresh cilantro
• 0.25 cup shredded cheese (cheddar or Mexican blend)
• 2 small tortillas (optional, for serving)

Directions

Step 1

Crack the eggs into a medium-sized bowl and whisk them together with the milk (if using). Set aside.

Step 2

Heat the olive oil in a nonstick skillet over medium heat.

Step 3

Add the diced onion to the skillet and sauté for 2-3 minutes, or until softened.

Step 4

Stir in the diced tomato, jalapeño (if using), and minced garlic. Cook for another 2 minutes until the vegetables are slightly softened.

Step 5

Lower the heat to medium-low and pour the whisked eggs into the skillet. Let the eggs cook for about 30 seconds without stirring.

Step 6

Using a spatula, gently stir the eggs and vegetables together, cooking and stirring frequently until the eggs are softly scrambled.

Step 7

Sprinkle in the salt, ground black pepper, and cumin, and stir to combine.

Step 8

Once the eggs are fully cooked but still moist, remove the skillet from heat. Sprinkle the shredded cheese over the top and let it melt for 1-2 minutes.

Step 9

Garnish with fresh cilantro before serving. Serve hot with warm tortillas on the side, if desired.
