instructions
    1

    Begin by chopping the onion and jalapeno finely. Dice the tomatoes and set aside.

    2

    Heat 1 tablespoon of olive oil in a skillet over medium heat. Add the chopped onion and jalapeno, sautéing for about 3 minutes until they begin to soften.

    3

    Next, add the diced tomatoes to the skillet with the sautéed onion and jalapeno. Stir and cook for another 2 minutes, allowing the tomatoes to break down a bit.

    4

    Crack the eggs directly into the skillet over the vegetable mixture. Gently stir to combine, adding 1/2 teaspoon of salt and 1/4 teaspoon of pepper.

    5

    Allow the eggs to cook undisturbed for about 2-3 minutes, or until they reach your desired level of doneness. If you prefer scrambled eggs, stir gently while cooking.

    6

    Finally, remove from heat and sprinkle fresh cilantro on top. Serve immediately.
