Egg Dishes

Huevos Mexicanos (Mexican Eggs)

Huevos Mexicanos are scrambled eggs with chopped chile, onions and tomatoes. Eggs are usually cooked with vegetable oil or occasionally butter. They are often served with steamed tortillas and beans, which may be topped with cheese. Salsa picante (puréed tomatoes, chile, garlic, onions and cilantro) or pico de gallo (a fresh salsa consisting of tomatoes, onions, garlic, jalap-enos and cilantro) may be offered on the side.

Gluten-Free Decision Factors:

• Ensure no wheat flour in salsa
• Ensure no wheat flour in beans
• Ensure corn tortillas—no wheat flour
• Ensure oil used for frying is designated for corn tortillas only and is not used to fry other items which may be battered or dusted with wheat flour
