Each nation has its own way of cooking scrambled eggs with vegetables: the Israelis have shakshuka, and the Mexicans have huevos rancheros. Fried eggs are fried separately, and then poured with a fragrant mixture of tomatoes and canned peppers. Huevos rancheros are served with tortillas, beans, slices of avocado and chopped cilantro.
