1/2 cup hot water
1 1/2 cups sliced onions, separated into rings
12 fresh jalapenos, stemmed, seeded and sliced into rings
3 tablespoons vegetable oil
8 eggs
2 cups grated sharp cheddar cheese
2 teaspoons ground guajillo chile peppers (or similar, just not chile powder)
1 teaspoon ground arbol chili pepper (or similar, just not chile powder)
