Scrambled eggs with a hint of Mexicana

2 tablespoons unsalted butter
2 tablespoons chopped white onion
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 black pepper, or to taste
1 large tomato, sliced
2 tablespoons crumbled cotija cheese
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.

What's the secret ingredient in these cakes? Pudding mix. It not only adds flavor but it gives the cake a richer, creamier texture. No one will know your secret ingredient!
Love buffalo wings? Get that same hot, zippy flavor in everything from deviled eggs to enchiladas. And of course: wings.

I don't normally get overly excited about scrambled eggs but this was just such a delicious change from your usual varieties. I did cut up the cactus a bit (not chopped, just not the long strands it came in). So good and so easy!
