Myth-Buster Recipe. Now that we've cleared that up (the cholesterol you eat doesn't affect the cholesterol in your blood), you can enjoy eggs for breakfast, lunch, or dinner, guilt-free. Leave all the seeds in the jalapeño if you want a spicier kick.

I made this for breakfast today; I almost doubled the recipe but decided against it, and I'm glad I didn't. I followed the recipe exactly, but it came out like runny scrambled eggs with salsa. Not worth the time and ingredients I put into it. I will definitely not make this again.

This recipe is very good. I now make a quick version of this recipie almost evrey day for my boyfriend for lunch. He loves scambled eggs but he ate them so much the old fashioned way that now he does not like them. So I make burritos with the eggs, garlic, tomatoes, green onions, and cheese. I add bacon on top and he loves it.
