How to Make Eleven City Diner's Mexican Scramble

  1. **Make the Salsa:**
  2. In a small bowl, combine 1 cup chopped tomatoes, 1/4 cup chopped white onions, 2 tablespoons chopped cilantro, and 1/2 minced jalapeno (optional).
  3. Stir well, season with salt and pepper to taste, and set aside.
  4. **Prepare the Scramble:**
  5. Heat 1 tablespoon of oil in a medium nonstick skillet over medium-high heat.
  6. Add 4 tortillas and cook for approximately 3 minutes per side, until golden brown and crispy.
  7. Remove tortillas and place on a paper towel-lined plate to drain excess oil.
  8. Add the remaining 1 tablespoon of oil to the skillet. Add 1/2 cup crumbled soy chorizo and cook for 2 minutes, until it begins to sizzle.
  9. Add 2 thinly sliced scallions and cook for another 2 minutes.
  10. Pour in 4 large eggs and gently scramble with a spatula until the eggs are mostly set but still slightly moist (about 1-2 minutes).
  11. Stir in 1/2 cup shredded cheese, season with salt and pepper to taste, and continue cooking until the cheese is melted and the eggs are fully cooked (about 30 seconds to 1 minute).
  12. Serve the scramble immediately over the fried tortillas. Top generously with the prepared salsa and enjoy!
