Make Huevos Machaca in just 30m. Three eggs scrambled with pico de gallo and shredded chicken, shredded beef, or carnitas.

In a non-stick skillet, heat olive oil over medium heat. In a bowl, whisk together the eggs, 0.5 tsp of salt, and black pepper. Pour the egg mixture into the skillet and cook, stirring gently, until the eggs are just set but still creamy.
