Categories     Breakfast

Time 15m

Number Of Ingredients 7

3 tablespoons butter
8 eggs
½ yellow onion, (finely diced)
10 oz. Rotel tomatoes and green chilies, (drained well)
1 ¼ cups black beans, (drained and rinsed)
1 cup Monterey Jack cheese, (shredded)
3 Green Onions, (diced)

Steps:

  • Melt the butter in a medium skillet over medium-low heat.
  • Whisk the eggs vigorously until they are completely uniform in color. This allows them to cook evenly but also incorporates air into the eggs which makes the fluffy. Add them to the skillet immediately after whisking.
  • Sprinkle the remaining ingredients over the eggs.
  • Leave the eggs untouched for about 45 seconds. As the eggs begin to set, use a silicone spatula and gently lift the eggs at the edge of the pan and fold them up. The uncooked egg mixture will then be able to seep onto the pan, and those can now set.
  • Repeat by continuing to fold up the eggs that have lightly cooked. You don't want to overmix the eggs, only move them around as needed for them to cook and set. If they're cooking too fast, decrease the heat to low.
  • Once the eggs are cooked and no remaining sections are runny, remove them from the heat immediately, do not overcook them. We want them to remain light and fluffy!
  • Top with diced green onions, serve, and enjoy!

Categories     < 30 Mins

Time 28m

Yield 2 serving(s)

Number Of Ingredients 16

14 1/2 ounces canned diced tomatoes, fire roasted-variety
1/4 teaspoon chili powder, chipotle-variety
2 tablespoons scallions, minced, green part only
2 tablespoons cilantro, fresh, minced
1 tablespoon fresh lime juice
1/4 teaspoon table salt
1/8 teaspoon black pepper
2 large eggs
3 large egg whites
1/4 teaspoon dried oregano, crushed
1/8 teaspoon ground cumin
1/4 teaspoon table salt
1/8 teaspoon black pepper
1 spray cooking spray
2 small shallots, minced
1 medium jalapeno pepper, seeded, minced (don't touch seeds with bare hands)

Steps:

  • To prepare salsa, pour tomatoes into a fine-mesh strainer set in sink; press on tomatoes to drain off all liquid, leaving about 1 cup of diced tomato. Spoon tomatoes into a medium bowl; stir in chili powder, scallion, cilantro, lime juice, salt and pepper. Stir salsa; set aside while making scrambled eggs.
  • To make eggs, in a medium bowl, beat together eggs, egg whites, oregano, cumin, salt and pepper; set aside.
  • Coat a medium nonstick skillet with cooking spray; heat over medium heat for 30 seconds. Add shallot and jalapeno; cook, stirring occasionally, until shallots are tender, about 3 minutes. Pour egg mixture into skillet; cook until eggs are almost cooked through, scrambling occasionally, about 4 to 5 minutes. Serve eggs topped with salsa or salsa on the side. Yields about 1 cup of eggs and 1/2 cup of salsa per serving.
  • Notes.
  • If you can find canned tomatoes with chipotle chiles, use them and omit the chili powder in the salsa. You can also save time by using your favorite spicy jarred salsa instead of making your own.
  • To make this recipe truly Tex-Mex, top with some baked tortilla strips (could affect POINTS values).
