Notes

Serve with tortilla chips or bread. Pair with refried beans, rice or potatoes for a full meal.

Cooking the onion and chile first, then add the tomato, keeps the vegetables from turning watery too fast. If the tomato moisture doesn't cook off before adding the eggs, the scramble can become too loose.

Variations

Mix in cilantro at the end for a fresher flavor.

Add crumbled queso fresco or shredded Oaxaca cheese for richness.

Stir in chorizo for a heartier version.

Add ham or shredded chicken for extra protein.

Include vegetables like bell pepper, zucchini, or mushrooms.

Make it creamier with a spoonful of crema or avocado on top.

Serve it in warm tortillas as breakfast tacos or burritos.
