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!

Tips:

  • Use fresh ingredients: Fresh vegetables, herbs, and spices will give your Tex-Mex scramble the best flavor. If possible, buy organic ingredients to avoid pesticides and herbicides.
  • Don't overcrowd the pan: If you overcrowd the pan, the eggs will not cook evenly. Cook the eggs in batches if necessary.
  • Stir the eggs frequently: Stirring the eggs frequently will help them cook evenly and prevent them from sticking to the pan.
  • Season the eggs to taste: Add salt, pepper, and other seasonings to taste. You can also add a dash of hot sauce or chili powder for a spicy kick.
  • Serve the scramble immediately: Tex-Mex scramble is best served immediately, while it is still hot and fluffy.
