Method  

  1. Finely chop 1 jalapeno and 1/8 of an onion.

  2. Rinse and finely chop 4-6 sprigs of cilantro.

  3. Roughly cut out the seeds of the tomato and discard.  Finely chop the tomato, season with a pinch of salt, and let it drain on a paper towel.

  4. Whisk 5 eggs together.

  8. Taste for seasoning and add more salt if necessary (I usually do).

  9. Serve immediately.
