- 1 medium, diced red bell pepper
- 1 small, seeds removed and diced jalapeño
- 2 cloves, minced garlic
- 2 medium, diced tomatoes

- 0.5 teaspoon salt
- 0.25 teaspoon black pepper

Instructions
Crack the eggs into a medium-sized bowl and whisk them thoroughly until combined. Set aside.
Heat olive oil in a large non-stick skillet over medium heat.
Add the diced onion, red bell pepper, and jalapeño to the skillet, sautéing for about 3-4 minutes until the vegetables start to soften.
Add the minced garlic to the skillet, stirring for an additional minute.
Add the diced tomatoes to the mixture and continue cooking for another 2-3 minutes until the tomatoes start to break down.
Stir in ground cumin, ground coriander, salt, and black pepper, and cook for another minute to allow the spices to bloom.
Reduce the heat to low and pour the whisked eggs over the vegetable mixture in the skillet.
Using a spatula, gently stir the eggs, folding them over the vegetables until they are softly scrambled and just set.
Remove the skillet from heat and sprinkle chopped cilantro over the eggs.
Squeeze fresh lime juice over the eggs for a zesty finish.
Serve the Mexican eggs hot, topped with sliced avocado on the side.
