How about habanero peppers and scrambled eggs? I have had sweat-producing scrambled eggs in Albuquerque, NM many times (Frontier Restaurant with green sauce), but this could beat that, especially if the scrambled eggs are the second ingredient.

I just use Adobo...

has a variety of ingredients to give the eggs a lot of flavor.

I cook the eggs in butter.

But, I’ll try the different things mentioned here.

[Born to Conserve]

Butter, salt, black pepper, and chives.

[Getready]

Saute onions, garlic, tomato in olive oil....pour uncooked scrambled eggs over simmering mix... Toss and turn till cooked. Serve with buttered or dry toasted sourdough or french bread

Or saute onions,garlic, tomato, spinach in olive oil..pour eggs on top...when almost done..cover with grated extra sharp cheddar.

There’s always salame, steak, or ground steak, or real ham, or sausage one can cook with the eggs. Don’t forget the Spam!

Tapatio has cumin, giving a slight chorizo flavor. I like it on occasion.
