Ingredients
- 6 corn tortillas, cut into triangles
- ¼ cup vegetable oil
- salt
- 4 large eggs, lightly beaten
- 1 cup salsa
- ½ cup pepper jack cheese
- toppings (avocado crema, cilantro, green onions, peppers, cheese)
Instructions
- Heat oil in large skillet over medium heat. Add the tortillas in batches, frying for 1-2 minutes per side. Transfer to a paper towel-lined plate and lightly salt.
- Add more oil if necessary and cook the eggs until scrambled. Remove from the skillet.
- Add the salsa to the skillet, cooking for 2 minutes. Return the fried tortillas to the the skillet and toss gently in the salsa.
- Add the eggs, stirring to combine and top with cheese. Cover the skillet so the cheese melts. Top with your favorite toppings.
Notes
- For a healthier version, bake the tortilla chips at 350°F for 15-18 minutes.
- If you want a crispier texture, remove the sauce from the heat and just toss the chips with the eggs and cheese. Then add the sauce on top of some random chips.
- If you have leftover protein like chicken or beef, just add it to the skillet.
- Add some jalapeños with the seeds if you like extra heat.
- Don't use pre-shredded cheese. It contains wood pulp and preservatives so it doesn't melt well.
