Recipe Information
Ingredients
- 6 large eggs
- 2 tablespoons olive oil
- 1 medium, diced onion
- 1 medium, diced red bell pepper
- 1 seeded and finely chopped jalapeño pepper
- 2 cloves, minced garlic
- 2 medium, diced tomatoes
- 1 teaspoon cumin powder
- 1 teaspoon paprika
- 0.5 teaspoon salt
- 0.25 teaspoon black pepper
- 0.25 cup, chopped fresh cilantro
- 1 sliced avocado
- 1 cut into wedges lime
Instructions
Crack the eggs into a medium bowl and whisk them lightly with a fork. Set aside.
Heat the olive oil in a large non-stick skillet over medium heat.
Add the diced onion, red bell pepper, and jalapeño to the skillet. Sauté for about 5 minutes, stirring occasionally, until the vegetables are soft.
Add the minced garlic and cook for another minute until it becomes fragrant.
Stir in the diced tomatoes, cumin powder, paprika, salt, and black pepper. Cook for about 3 minutes until the tomatoes are slightly softened.
Pour the whisked eggs into the skillet over the vegetable mixture. Allow the eggs to cook without stirring initially, until they begin to set around the edges.
Using a spatula, gently fold the eggs over and cook until just set but still soft. This should take about 3 to 4 minutes.
Remove the skillet from the heat and stir in the fresh cilantro.
Serve the Mexican eggs immediately, garnished with sliced avocado and lime wedges on the side.
