Ingredients

Instructions

  1. First, thoroughly wash the zucchinis and cut them into approximately 1 cm cubes. Peel and finely dice the onion, preparing it for sautéing.
  2. Heat a large skillet over medium heat and add the olive oil. Add the diced onion to the skillet and sauté for about 3-4 minutes until soft and translucent. Be careful not to brown them.
  3. Add the diced zucchini to the skillet. Stir in the cumin, chili powder, salt, black pepper, and a pinch of cayenne pepper. Mix well and cook for about 5-7 minutes, until the zucchini is tender-crisp.
  4. Whisk the eggs in a small bowl. Push the zucchini mixture to the side of the skillet and pour the whisked eggs into the center. Scramble the eggs slowly with a spatula until set and creamy.
  5. Sprinkle the shredded cheese evenly over the entire skillet. Cover the skillet with a lid and let the cheese melt for 1-2 minutes. This helps the cheese melt properly and combine with the other ingredients.
  6. Finally, garnish with fresh chopped cilantro and serve immediately. This dish is delicious with warm tortillas or as a side dish.
