Huevos Con Ejotes (Green Bean Scramble)
A simple, yet flavorful and healthy Mexican-style dish that’s a great way to liven up the usual scrambled eggs.
Ingredients
- 2 eggs
- ½ tomato
- ½ jalapeño (or the whole thing if you like the heat)
- 1 tablespoon onion
- ½-1/4 cup green beans (fresh or canned, see notes)
- 1 tablespoon cooking oil or ghee
Instructions
- Lightly scramble two eggs in a bowl and set aside.
- Dice tomato, jalapeño and onion.
- Cut the green beans in half or approximately an inch to an inch and a half long.
- In a medium skillet, heat your preferred cooking oil or ghee. Then, add the diced onion and jalapeño. Sauté for about a minute until fragrant.
- Add the green beans and sauté for another minute.
- Add the tomatoes and eggs. Mix everything together until combined. Season with salt and pepper to taste.
- Stir occasionally until the eggs are cooked.
- Serve by themselves, alongside beans, or topped with salsa.
Notes
- I prefer to use canned green beans that have been drained. I like the flavor they add to the dish, plus they are very convenient. However, if you prefer you can use cooked fresh green beans.
- You can add more or less green beans depending on how hearty you like your scramble.
