Huevos a la Mexicana

Ingredients

Makes 1 portion

The serrano chile adds a fair amount of heat to the dish. If you don’t like your food too spicy just add 1/2 of the serrano chile that the recipe calls for.

Preparation

1. Dice the onion, tomato and chile. Saute them in one tablespoon of olive oil until they have softened and are just starting to reach the point of being fully cooked.

2. While the vegetables are being sauteed beat the two eggs with a pinch of salt.

3. Add the beaten eggs to the pan with the vegetables. When the eggs begin to set gently break them up with a spatula. Keep breaking the eggs up until they are fully cooked and fluffy.

4. Serve with refried beans and a stack of hot corn tortillas.
