📝 Instructions

8 steps
1

In a mixing bowl, whisk together the eggs, milk, salt, and black pepper until well combined. Set aside.

2

Heat olive oil and butter in a large non-stick skillet over medium heat until the butter has melted.

3

Add the diced onion to the skillet and sauté for 2-3 minutes until translucent.

4

Stir in the diced tomatoes and chopped jalapeño, and cook for an additional 2 minutes until the vegetables soften slightly.

5

Lower the heat to medium-low, then pour the egg mixture into the skillet. Let it sit undisturbed for about 30 seconds.

6

Using a rubber spatula, gently move the eggs across the skillet, folding them as they cook. Continue this process for 2-3 minutes or until the eggs are cooked but still soft and creamy.

7

Fold in the chopped cilantro and shredded cheddar cheese, then remove the skillet from heat. Stir gently to combine as the cheese melts.

8

Serve immediately with sliced avocado and warm corn tortillas on the side if desired.
