Recipe Information
Ingredients
- 6 pieces large eggs
- 2 tablespoons olive oil
- 1 piece small onion, finely chopped
- 1 piece red bell pepper, diced
- 1 piece medium tomato, deseeded and diced
- 2 tablespoons fresh cilantro, chopped
- 0.5 teaspoon sea salt
- 0.25 teaspoon black pepper
- 0.5 teaspoon ground cumin
- 1 piece jalapeño, finely chopped (optional)
Instructions
In a medium bowl, crack the eggs and beat them thoroughly until they are well mixed. Set aside.
Heat the olive oil in a non-stick skillet over medium heat.
Add the chopped onion and sauté for about 2-3 minutes until it becomes translucent.
Stir in the diced red bell pepper and optional chopped jalapeño, and cook for another 3-4 minutes until the vegetables soften.
Add the diced tomato and cook for an additional 2 minutes, stirring occasionally.
Sprinkle in the sea salt, black pepper, and ground cumin, and mix well with the vegetables.
Pour the beaten eggs into the skillet and let them set slightly around the edges.
Gently stir the eggs with a spatula, scraping the bottom of the skillet to fold the cooked eggs over the raw portions, until the eggs are cooked to your preference.
Remove the skillet from the heat and stir in the fresh chopped cilantro.
Serve immediately and enjoy your Dairy-Free Ovos Mexidos as a satisfying breakfast or alongside your favorite sides.
