Ingredients

• 4 large eggs
• 2 tablespoons cotija cheese
• 6 cherry tomatoes
• 1 small green chili
• 0.5 medium bell pepper
• 0.25 medium red onion
• 2 tablespoons unsweetened almond milk
• 1 tablespoon olive oil
• 1 cup fresh spinach
• 0.5 teaspoon salt
• 0.25 teaspoon black pepper
• 0.5 teaspoon cumin powder
• 0.5 teaspoon coriander powder
• 2 tablespoons fresh cilantro

Directions

Step 1

Whisk the eggs in a bowl with the almond milk, salt, black pepper, cumin powder, and coriander powder until well combined.

Step 2

Finely chop the cherry tomatoes, green chili, bell pepper, and red onion. Set them aside separately.

Step 3

Heat olive oil in a non-stick skillet over medium heat.

Step 4

Add the chopped red onion and green chili to the skillet. Sauté for about 2 minutes until the onion becomes translucent and the chili releases its heat.

Step 5

Stir in the bell pepper and cherry tomatoes. Cook for another 2 minutes until the tomatoes start to soften.

Step 6

Reduce the heat to low, add the whisked eggs to the skillet, and gently stir the mixture with a spatula.

Step 7

As the eggs start to form curds, after about 1 minute, add the cotija cheese and fresh spinach.

Step 8

Continue cooking while gently folding the mixture for an additional 2-3 minutes until the eggs are cooked but still soft and creamy.

Step 9

Remove from heat and garnish with fresh cilantro.

Step 10

Serve immediately with whole-grain toast or a side of your choice.
