Ingredients
- 8 large eggs
- 3/4 lb roma tomatoes
- 1 yellow onions
- 1 jalapeño peppers
- 2 tbsp vegetable oil
- 1 tsp salt
- 8 corn tortillas
- 1/2 bunch cilantro(optional)
Method
Finely dice the tomato, onion, and jalapeno. Seed the chile if you want it mild.
Heat the oil in a skillet over medium and cook the onion and jalapeno for 3 minutes until softened.
Add the tomato and cook 3 minutes more, until it releases its juice and the pan looks saucy.
Beat the eggs with the salt and pour them in. Stir slowly with a spatula, pushing the curds from the edge to the center.
Take the pan off the heat while the eggs still look slightly wet; they finish cooking in the residual heat.
Warm the tortillas directly over a burner or in a dry pan and serve alongside with cilantro.
