Recipe Information
Ingredients
- 6 large eggs
- 2 tablespoons olive oil
- 0.5 medium onion
- 0.5 medium red bell pepper
- 1 small jalapeño
- 1 medium tomato
- 0.25 cup fresh cilantro
- 0.5 teaspoon sea salt
- 0.25 teaspoon black pepper
Instructions
Crack the eggs into a bowl, and whisk until yolks and whites are fully combined. Set aside.
Finely chop the onion, red bell pepper, and jalapeño. Be sure to remove the seeds from the jalapeño for a milder taste.
Dice the tomato and chop the fresh cilantro, setting them aside separately.
Heat a large non-stick skillet over medium heat and add the olive oil.
Add the chopped onion, red bell pepper, and jalapeño to the skillet. Sauté for about 3-4 minutes, or until the vegetables are softened.
Add the diced tomato to the skillet and cook for another 2 minutes, stirring occasionally.
Pour the whisked eggs evenly over the sautéed vegetables in the skillet.
As the eggs start to set at the edges, use a spatula to gently pull the eggs from the edges toward the center, allowing the uncooked eggs to run to the sides.
Continue gently stirring and folding the eggs for about 2-3 minutes, or until they are just set with a soft, creamy texture.
Remove the skillet from heat, and season the eggs with sea salt and black pepper.
Fold the chopped cilantro into the scrambled eggs just before serving.
Serve hot and enjoy your Whole30 Ovos Mexidos!
