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.
