Ingredients

  • 6 eggs
  • 1/2 - 225 g bag tortilla chips
  • 1 cup red salsa not chunky
  • ½ cup grated Tex-Mex cheese blend
  • 2 Tbsp canola oil divided
  • Kosher salt and fresh ground pepper to taste
  • Cilantro chopped for garnish

Instructions

  • In a medium mixing bowl, whisk the eggs with Kosher salt and fresh ground pepper until well mixed and set aside.
  • Heat 1 tbsp of canola oil in a 10-inch cast iron skillet over medium-low heat.
  • Once warmed, add the egg mixture to the skillet and scramble the eggs. You want them slightly underdone. Remove from the skillet and set aside.
  • Add the second Tbsp of canola oil to the skillet and tilt the pan to coat the bottom. Heat over medium-low heat.
  • Add the tortilla chips to the skillet in an even layer covering the skillet right to the edges.
  • Pour the salsa into the middle of the skillet coating the tortilla chips; keep about 1 inch of the chips around the edge not covered in salsa, so they remain crispy.
  • Cook for 5-7 minutes on medium-low, stirring occasionally, slightly breaking down the chips covered with salsa; you want the salsa to thicken slightly.
  • Add the eggs back to the center of the skillet, covering the salsa-coated chips.
  • Sprinkle the grated Tex-Mex cheese over the eggs, turn the heat down to low, and cover the skillet for a few minutes until the cheese is melted.
  • Garnish with the chopped cilantro and serve.
