Tired of eating plain eggs day in and day out? Spice them up with a Mexican twist! These Mexican scrambled eggs are as far from plain as it gets. Bell peppers, onions, salsa and shredded cheddar cheese call for a fiesta in your mouth!
What kind of a food blogger posts pictures of their messy scrambled eggs? ;) This one! If something is easy and yummy, the world needs to know! If you are looking for fanciness and “high-level cuisine”, you’d surely be disappointed. If you are looking for real food normal people make in their home kitchen, this is your place! So yes, I’m proud to share all my recipes here, no matter how simple and obvious they might be :)
These Mexican scrambled eggs have an orange tint to them from the salsa and the flavor of salsa and melted cheddar cheese throughout, and bell peppers and onions fit right in! If you are a Chipotle fan, you know their grilled peppers and onions. I often make a huge batch and add it to many recipes, including scrambled eggs (I even have the Instant Pot peppers and onions version).
Making Mexican scrambled eggs in really easy. Just pan-fry sliced bell pepper and sliced onion in a little oil, then add the eggs, salsa and shredded cheese. Cook, stirring, for 2 minutes, or until the eggs are just set. Add salt and pepper to taste and your favorite seasonings and enjoy!
Another benefit of these Mexican scrambled eggs is that they are healthy. They are low in carbs and high in protein and loaded with veggies! Healthy and yummy – that type of recipe is always a keeper!
