Provided by Food Network Kitchen

Time 30m

Yield SERVES: 4 to 6 servings

Number Of Ingredients 11

2 tablespoons unsalted butter
1 poblano chile pepper, seeded and diced
1 bunch scallions, sliced
1 red jalapeno pepper, halved, seeded and thinly sliced
1/2 cup fresh corn kernels
Kosher salt
8 large eggs
4 cups tortilla chips, slightly crushed
1 cup shredded cheddar cheese (about 4 ounces)
1/4 cup fresh cilantro, torn, plus more for topping
Diced avocado, sour cream and pico de gallo, for topping

Steps:

  • Melt the butter in a 10-inch cast-iron skillet over medium-high heat. Add the poblano, scallions and jalapeno; cook, stirring occasionally, until slightly softened, 1 to 2 minutes. Add the corn and 3/4 teaspoon salt; cook, stirring occasionally, until the vegetables are soft, about 2 more minutes.
  • Whisk the eggs with 1/4 cup water and 1/2 teaspoon salt in a large bowl. Add the eggs to the skillet and cook, stirring constantly with a rubber spatula to form large curds, until the eggs are softly scrambled, about 2 minutes. Add the tortilla chips, 3/4 cup cheese and the cilantro to the skillet; cook, stirring, until well combined, 1 to 2 more minutes.
  • Sprinkle the scramble with the remaining 1/4 cup cheese and top with avocado, sour cream, pico de gallo and more cilantro.

MEXICAN EGG SCRAMBLE

For anyone on the go, this is a hearty, portable breakfast -- eggs wrapped in a tortilla and twisted up in foil. At home, place the pan with eggs and toasted corn tortillas in the center of the table.

Categories     Food & Cooking     Breakfast & Brunch Recipes

Number Of Ingredients 8

18 corn tortillas or 1 bag salted tortilla chips
1 tablespoon vegetable oil
5 scallions (both white and green parts), chopped, or 1/2 cup chopped onion
4 to 6 serrano or jalapeno chiles, minced
1 large or 2 small tomatoes, coarsely chopped
1 1/4 teaspoons coarse salt
1/4 cup chopped fresh cilantro (optional)
1 dozen large eggs

Steps:

  • If using corn tortillas, toast individually over a gas flame on low or in a pan for about 40 seconds per side. Stack on top of each other and wrap in foil or a clean kitchen towel. This will steam the toasted tortillas for pliability.
  • Heat a 14-inch skillet and then add the oil and swirl it around in the pan. Stir in the scallions and chiles. Add the tomatoes, salt, and cilantro, if using. Stir over high heat for about 2 minutes.
  • Crack the eggs one at a time into the skillet and stir. Cook just until the eggs are set, 1 to 2 minutes. Serve immediately: scoop a portion of eggs onto each plate and offer 3 tortillas each, or crumble tortilla chips over the egg mixture.

Provided by Food Network

Time 32m

Yield 1 serving

Number Of Ingredients 12

1 plum tomato, diced
1 teaspoon minced yellow onion
1/2 teaspoon chopped fresh cilantro
1/2 jalapeno, seeds and membranes removed, finely diced
Kosher salt and freshly ground black pepper
2 tablespoons vegetable oil, divided
2 (6-inch) corn tortillas
1 (2-ounce) link smoked chorizo, chopped
2 scallions, chopped
3 large eggs, lightly beaten
1 ounce Monterey Jack cheese, coarsely grated
Kosher salt and freshly ground black pepper

Steps:

  • For the salsa:
  • In a small bowl, combine the tomatoes, onions, cilantro and jalapeno. Stir together, season with salt and pepper and set aside.
  • For the scramble:
  • In a medium nonstick skillet, heat 1 tablespoon oil over medium-high heat. Add the tortillas and cook until golden, about 3 minutes per side. Transfer to a paper towel-lined plate to drain. Add the remaining 1 tablespoon oil to the skillet with the chorizo. Cook until the chorizo begins to sizzle, about 2 minutes. Add the scallions and cook 2 minutes. Stir in the eggs with a spatula until the eggs begin to set, about 1 minute. Add the cheese and season with salt and pepper. Cook, stirring constantly, until the eggs are set, 30 seconds to 1 minute.
  • Serve the scramble on top of the fried tortilla and scatter salsa over top.

Tips:

  • Use fresh, high-quality ingredients: The fresher your ingredients, the better your scramble will taste. Look for ripe veggies, flavorful cheeses, and farm-fresh eggs.
  • Don't overcrowd the pan: If you overcrowd the pan, the eggs will steam instead of scrambling. Cook the eggs in batches if necessary.
  • Stir constantly: Stirring the eggs constantly will help them cook evenly and prevent them from sticking to the pan.
  • Season to taste: Add salt, pepper, and other seasonings to taste. You can also add a dash of hot sauce for some extra spice.
  • Serve immediately: Mexican scramble is best served immediately after it's cooked. This will ensure that the eggs are still fluffy and the vegetables are still crisp.

Conclusion:

Mexican scramble is a delicious and easy-to-make breakfast that is perfect for any occasion. With its simple ingredients and customizable flavor profile, it's a dish that everyone will enjoy. Whether you're looking for a quick and easy weekday breakfast or a special brunch dish, Mexican scramble is sure to please.
