Instructions
Heat oil in a large pan, once warm saute the onions until soft. Next add the chiles, cook for 2 minutes then add the garlic and cook another 2 minutes. Add the green beans, tomatoes, salt and pepper. Cook until green beans are to desired texture. Once green beans are to desired texture pour the lightly beaten eggs into the pan. Stir and cook until eggs have cooked through.
