For an extra layer of flavor, consider adding a pinch of smoked paprika or a dash of your favorite hot sauce to the egg mixture before cooking. Feel free to customize the cheese based on your preference. Monterey Jack, cheddar, or even a sprinkle of cotija cheese would work well. If you prefer a spicier scramble, use spicy chorizo or add a pinch of cayenne pepper to the egg mixture. Serve immediately for the best texture and flavor. This scramble pairs perfectly with a side of salsa and a dollop of sour cream or Greek yogurt.
