Ingredients
- 6 pieces eggs
- 2 pieces roma tomato
- 1 piece jalapeño pepper
- 1 small white onion
- 2 tablespoons fresh cilantro
- 1 teaspoon salt
- 0.5 teaspoon black pepper
- 2 tablespoons cooking oil
- 4 pieces corn tortillas
- 0.5 cup cheddar or Oaxaca cheese
Directions
Step 1
Dice the tomatoes, jalapeño pepper, and onion into small pieces. Chop the cilantro finely and set aside.
Step 2
Crack the eggs into a medium-sized bowl and whisk them until fully combined. Add salt and black pepper, then mix well.
Step 3
Heat 1 tablespoon of cooking oil in a large non-stick skillet over medium heat. Add the diced onion and cook for 2-3 minutes until softened.
Step 4
Add the diced tomatoes and jalapeño pepper to the skillet. Cook for another 3-4 minutes until the vegetables are tender and slightly caramelized.
Step 5
Pour in the whisked eggs and gently stir the mixture with a spatula. Cook for 4-5 minutes, stirring occasionally, until the eggs are set and fluffy.
Step 6
Warm the corn tortillas by heating them in a dry skillet or directly on a gas flame for a few seconds on each side until soft and pliable.
Step 7
Spoon the egg and vegetable mixture onto the center of each tortilla. Sprinkle a small amount of shredded cheese on top of the mixture.
Step 8
Fold or roll the tortillas as desired (like a taco or burrito), and optionally garnish with chopped cilantro on top.
Step 9
Serve immediately with your favorite salsa or hot sauce on the side.
