  3. Seed and mince the jalapeño, adding it to the bowl with the peppers and onions.
  4. Wash hands after handling the jalapeño and set the bowl aside.
  5. Heat a nonstick skillet over medium-high heat and warm a light coating of oil.
  6. Shave the cilantro leaves from the stems, mince the leaves, and add half to the vegetable bowl while reserving the rest for serving.
  7. Pour the eggs into the bowl with salt and pepper and whisk to combine, then pour into the hot skillet and scramble, using steady stirring and folding until just set.
