How to Make Huevos A La Mexicana

  1. Melt 2 tablespoons of butter and 1 tablespoon of vegetable oil in a large skillet over medium heat. Add 1/2 medium onion, chopped, and 1/2 bell pepper (any color), chopped. Sauté for 5-7 minutes, until the onion is translucent and softened.
  2. Add 1 (14.5 ounce) can of diced tomatoes, undrained, to the skillet. Stir in a pinch of salt and black pepper.
  3. Crack 4 large eggs directly into the skillet. Stir continuously with a spatula, gently scrabbling the eggs and incorporating the tomato mixture, until the eggs are cooked through but still slightly moist (about 3-5 minutes).
  4. Remove from heat and serve immediately. Garnish with fresh cilantro or avocado, if desired. Season to taste with additional salt and pepper.
