SCRAMBLED EGGS WITH CACTUS

Scrambled Eggs with Cactus image

Number Of Ingredients 8

2 tablespoons unsalted butter
2 tablespoons chopped white onions
1/2 cup jarred cactus strips, drained and rinsed
4 large eggs, beaten
1/4 teaspoon salt, or to taste
1/8 teaspoon freshly ground pepper, or to taste
1 large tomato, sliced
2 tablespoons , crumbled cotija cheese or queso, añejo

Steps:

Melt the butter in a medium skillet over medium heat, and cook the onion and cactus strips until the onion is softened, about 3 minutes. (The cactus strips will retain their texture as they cook with the onion.) Add the eggs and stir slowly to scramble. Cook until set, about 2 to 3 minutes, or to desired doneness. Season with salt and pepper. Serve with sliced tomato on the side and scatter cheese over all.From "1,000 Mexican Recipes." Copyright 2001 by Marge Poore.
