Chilaquiles (chee la kee lays)


If you have some leftover salsa and tortilla chips, this is the best breakfast. The chips soften slightly in the eggs and topped with some sour cream and scallions, it comes close to perfection. They are very filling, so a little goes a long way.

leftover salsa
leftover tortilla chips
shredded cheddar cheese
4 eggs, beaten
olive oil

for garnish:
sliced scallions
diced red onion
sour cream
cilantro
hot sauce

Heat the oil in a large nonstick skillet until quite hot and smoking. Add several large handfuls of chips and toss to coat. Push the chips to the edge to reveal a small hole in the middle of the pan. Add the eggs, and stir to scramble until about halfway done. Begin mixing and tossing into the chips, coating and softening some of them. When the eggs are just cooked, toss in some cheese and pile onto plates. Garnish with more cheese, scallions, red onion, sour cream, cilantro and hot sauce. Serves two.
