    Mexican Scrambled Eggs

    This is a simple and quick Mexican brunch dish or even you can have it as a breakfast..This is one of nigella’s recipe. She made this and it was so perfect looking eggs.

    Scrambled Eggs with Fried Tortillas. It hardly took me 5 min to finish this dish. I used the flour tortilla which I made before. If you need recipe for homemade tortilla please check this.

    I used capsicum in this but if you don’t have that you could skip that. If you like your scrambled eggs spicy throw some chopped green chillies, that will give a nice kick to this dish.

    If you want to level up this dish, try topping it with salsa, cheese and extra cilantro.

      I know a lot of folks who don’t eat eggs (they’re allergic, for health reasons, or concerns about animal cruelty). Here’s an awesome site that gives tips on cooking and baking without eggs: http://EggFreeLiving.com
