Ingredients

• 6 large eggs
• 0.25 cup milk
• 0.5 teaspoon salt
• 0.25 teaspoon black pepper
• 2 tablespoons olive oil
• 0.5 cup onion
• 2 cloves garlic cloves
• 1 whole jalapeño
• 2 large roma tomatoes
• 0.25 cup cilantro
• 1 medium avocado
• 1 medium lime
• 0.25 cup queso fresco
• 4 whole tortillas

Directions

Step 1

Crack the eggs into a mixing bowl, add the milk, salt, and black pepper. Whisk until fully combined and set aside.

Step 2

Dice the onion, mince the garlic cloves, and finely chop the jalapeño (remove seeds for less heat if desired). Chop the roma tomatoes and cilantro. Slice the avocado and set everything aside separately.

Step 3

In a large skillet, heat olive oil over medium heat. Add the diced onion and cook until it becomes translucent, about 3-4 minutes.

Step 4

Add the minced garlic and chopped jalapeño to the skillet. Cook for another 1-2 minutes until fragrant.

Step 5

Add chopped tomatoes to the skillet and cook for about 2-3 minutes until they start to soften.

Step 6

Pour the egg mixture into the skillet with the vegetables, stirring gently. Continue to cook, stirring occasionally, until the eggs are fully set but still soft, about 5-7 minutes.

Step 7

While the eggs are cooking, warm the tortillas in a separate skillet or microwave.

Step 8

Once the eggs are cooked, remove the skillet from heat. Stir in the chopped cilantro.

Step 9

Squeeze the juice of a lime over the eggs and gently mix.

Step 10

Top the scrambled eggs with sliced avocado and crumbled queso fresco.

Step 11

Serve the Mexican Eggs alongside the warm tortillas for a delicious breakfast experience.
