Huevos al albañil is a recipe for scrambled eggs with peppers and it is very popular in Mexico. This dish can be made very quickly and it is very satisfying. You can use whatever sauce you like but I recommend a salsa roja made with chile de árbol peppers and roasted tomatoes because it has a smoky flavor and it’s slightly sweet to complement the eggs perfectly.
