Ingredients

• 1 tbsp Vegetable oil
• ¼ white onion, finely chopped
• 1 serrano or jalapeño chilli, finely chopped
• 1 ripe tomato, diced
• 4 large eggs
• ½ tsp Salt
• 6 warm corn tortillas, to serve

Method

1. Heat the oil in a frying pan over medium heat. Cook the onion and chilli for 2–3 min until soft but not brown.
2. Add the tomato and a pinch of the salt and cook for 2 min, until it softens and releases some juice.
3. Beat the eggs with the rest of the salt, pour into the pan and stir gently with a spatula for 2–3 min, until just set in soft curds.
4. Take off the heat while still slightly glossy (they keep cooking) and serve with warm tortillas, refried beans and salsa.

Tips

• Seed the chilli for less heat, or add an extra one if you like it fiery.
• Wrap in a tortilla with beans for an easy breakfast taco.
