Ingredients

  • 1 Roma tomato
  • 1/8 onion
  • 1 jalapeno
  • 4-6 sprigs cilantro
  • 5 eggs
  • refried beans (optional)
  • corn tortillas (optional)
  • 1/4 teaspoon salt
  • freshly cracked black pepper
  • 1-2 tablespoons oil
  • 1 tablespoon butter (optional)

Instructions

  • Finely chop 1 jalapeno and 1/8 of an onion.
  • Rinse and finely chop 4-6 sprigs of cilantro.
  • Roughly cut out the seeds of the tomato and discard.  Finely chop the tomato, season with a pinch of salt, and let it drain on a paper towel.
  • Whisk 5 eggs together.
  • Lightly saute the onion and jalapeno in a dollop of oil (and some butter if you want.)
  • Add the eggs and season with 1/4 teaspoon salt and freshly cracked pepper.  Cook on medium-low heat, turning frequently.
  • Just before the eggs are done cooking add the tomatoes and cilantro.  Mix well and cook for an additional minute.
  • Taste for seasoning and add more salt if necessary (I usually do).
  • Serve immediately.

Notes

You can use serrano peppers instead of jalapenos if you want.
 
Feel free to serve with warm corn tortillas loaded with beans and cheese.
