Dry scrambled eggs are typically used in the Mexican kitchen and are often cooked with other ingredients, e.g. tomato, green onions, hot peppers, sausage, chorizo ...

There is an advantage to cooking the eggs dry if you are wrapping them in tortillas. It isn’t much fun when your tortilla suddenly starts dripping egg yolks all over you.

Marielos prefers her scrambled eggs this way.
