Huevos a la Mexicana /Mexican Scrambled Eggs

Published: · Modified: ·by .This post may contain affiliate links ·

This recipe from start to finish including photographs is contributed by my hubby. If scrambled eggs are on the menu, then chef hat and apron will goes to him. During the end of my pregnancy and after having little one, we had nobody from our family to help us. So we two manage our breakfasts with bread and scrambled eggs made by him. 
When I make the eggs I don’t make scrambled eggs only make firtatta or omelet. The former one I add spinach, eggs, onion etc where as for the later I use only eggs, green chilies and onions. When I was staying alone I made rasam as well as omelet most of them. Now I make more curries compared to earlier. Hubby says it is mainly because of my blog, I will agree with him to an extent. 

Scrambled eggs are used in various cuisines. Scrambled eggs can be made with vegetables like zucchini, tomato, garlic etc. I read that in Chilean cuisine they make scrambled eggs with native fungus Cyttaria espinosae. Mexican chefs add eggs to seared tomato salsa for making huevos a la Mexicana, while Tunisians like to make a spicy scrambled egg dish with onions, sweet and hot peppers, tomatoes and potatoes. Indians sometimes like to add some onion, chilies and garam masala or other spices. 
Yesterday afternoon, hubby was collecting eggs from refrigerator for making bhurji, and I was sitting in front of computer searching for new recipes, and while going through the pages of New York Times I saw this Mexican scrambled egg recipe by Martha Rose Shulman. On checking the recipe it needs some Serrano peppers, garlic, tomato and coriander leaves. I asked him, can you come for a minute and check this. He came and giving a glance at them told me today instead of bhurji, I am going to make this. 

It is simple easy recipe which needs only a few ingredients from your kitchen. There is similar tex-mex version of scrambled eggs which is called migas, where they add some strips of corn tortillas too. I have to try that some time. For this dish he used 4 egg whites and one whole egg, so this is ultimately healthy. If you want, you can make them with only egg whites also. He is an onion hater so used only ¼ cup of onion and 1 tablespoon of Serrano pepper with a single clove of garlic and tomato. He discovered that you should add tomato only after eggs gets cooked otherwise so much water oozes out from tomato. Adding garlic and fresh coriander leaves brings out some extra flavors. Give it a try when you have less time on your hands to make a full breakfast or brunch.

    Great take in huevos a la mexicana. Do you know that Mexico is the number one consumer of eggs? We eat eggs in endless combinations of dishes usually for breakfast and sometimes for dinner.
