What Are Scrambled Mexican Eggs?

Huevos a la Mexicana are a traditional Mexican breakfast dish made by scrambling eggs with diced tomatoes, onions, and jalapeños. The name comes from the vibrant colors of the Mexican flag represented in the ingredients: red (tomatoes), white (onions), and green (jalapeños). It’s a simple yet flavorful way to start your morning.

Recipe Ingredients

Here’s what you’ll need to make Huevos a la Mexicana:

• Eggs

• Fresh tomatoes

• White or yellow onion

• Jalapeño pepper

• Fresh cilantro (optional, for garnish)

• Salt and pepper

• Cooking oil or butter

How to Make Huevos a la Mexicana

1. Prepare the ingredients: Dice the tomatoes, onions, and jalapeño. Crack the eggs into a bowl, season with salt and pepper, and whisk until well combined.

2. Sauté the vegetables: Heat oil or butter in a skillet over medium heat. Add the diced onions and jalapeños, cooking until softened. Stir in the tomatoes and cook for a few more minutes.

3. Scramble the eggs: Pour the whisked eggs into the skillet. Let them set slightly, then gently stir and fold until the eggs are fully cooked and fluffy.

4. Serve: Transfer to a plate, garnish with fresh cilantro, and enjoy!

Tips & Variations

• Adjust the heat: For a spicier dish, use serrano peppers instead of jalapeños. For a milder version, remove the seeds and membranes from the jalapeños.

• Add cheese: Sprinkle shredded cheese on top for a creamy twist.

• Make it heartier: Add cooked chorizo or diced ham for extra protein.

• Vegetarian options: Include diced bell peppers or mushrooms.

What to Serve with Huevos a la Mexicana

Pair your scrambled Mexican eggs with:

• Warm corn or flour tortillas.

• Refried beans or black beans.

• Fresh avocado slices or guacamole.

• A side of rice for a more filling meal.

How to Store & Reheat Leftovers

Store any leftovers in an airtight container in the refrigerator for up to 3 days. To reheat, place the eggs in a skillet over low heat or microwave in short intervals until warmed through.
