Easy, inexpensive, delicious breakfast or brunch item that smells great on a Sunday morning. Shown to me by a former Mexican neighbor of mine. I usually make it vegetarian for myself, but with guests, I add a meat, usually sausage or chorizo. Delicious! Always a favorite and a classic in Mexico and Texas!
Ingredients
- 2 tablespoons vegetable oil
- 1 cup coarsely broken tortilla chips
- ½ medium onion, chopped
- ½ medium green bell pepper, chopped
- ¾ cup chopped chorizo sausage
- 1 medium tomato, diced
- 5 large eggs, beaten
- salt and ground black pepper to taste
- 6 (6 inch) warm corn tortillas
- 1 cup shredded Cheddar cheese
- ¼ cup salsa
Directions
Step 1
Heat oil in a skillet over medium-high heat. Add broken tortilla chips; cook and stir for 2 to 3 minutes. Add onion; cook and stir for 3 minutes. Add bell pepper and cook until tender, 3 to 5 minutes. Stir in sausage and let cook until heated through, about 3 minutes.
Step 2
Add tomato and mix until well combined. Pour beaten eggs into the skillet and season with salt and pepper. Cook, stirring regularly, until eggs are set and thoroughly cooked, about 5 minutes.
Step 3
Serve skillet mixture with tortillas, Cheddar cheese, and salsa for guests to assemble themselves.
