For an extra kick, add in a serrano pepper, with or without seeds, depending on preferred spice level.
Want more protein? Chop bacon, ham or chicken into small pieces and brown in skillet, making sure it’s cooked through before adding in onions, garlic and spinach.
Try adding even more veggies, like sliced mushrooms, bell peppers, corn and zucchini.
You can also char tomatillos over your gas burners on your stove. Turn burner up to high, and using tongs, place tomatillos on the grate, turning as necessary.

To ensure food safety, eggs should be cooked until both the yolk and the white are firm. Consuming raw or undercooked eggs may increase your risk of foodborne illness, especially for those with certain medical conditions. For recipes that call for eggs that are raw or undercooked when the dish is served, use either pasteurized shell eggs that have been treated to destroy Salmonella, or use pasteurized egg products.
