In a medium bowl, crack the eggs. Add half of the salt (1/2 tsp) and pepper (1/4 tsp), and whisk vigorously until the yolks and whites are fully combined and slightly frothy. Set aside.
Heat the vegetable oil in a large non-stick skillet over medium-high heat. Once shimmering, add the chopped white onion and serrano pepper. Sauté for 3-4 minutes, stirring frequently, until the onion is soft and translucent.
Add the minced garlic and cook for another 30-60 seconds until fragrant. Be careful not to burn it.
Stir in the diced tomatoes and the drained, rinsed nopales. Season with the remaining salt and pepper. Cook for 5-6 minutes, stirring occasionally, until the nopales are heated through and the tomatoes have softened and released their juices.
Reduce the heat to medium-low. Pour the whisked eggs evenly over the vegetable mixture in the skillet. Let them set for about 30 seconds without stirring.
Using a spatula, gently push the eggs from the edges toward the center, creating large, soft curds. Continue this gentle folding motion for 2-3 minutes, or until the eggs are cooked to your desired doneness but still slightly moist.
Remove the skillet from the heat. Immediately sprinkle with fresh chopped cilantro and crumbled queso fresco. Serve hot with warm corn tortillas and your favorite salsa.
