10 ingredients
6 steps

Ingredients

  • 6 corn tortillas, sliced into 1/2 inch strips
  • vegetable oil (for frying- about 1 cup) or corn oil (for frying- about 1 cup)
  • 8 ounces chorizo sausage (pork or beef)
  • 6 eggs
  • 1/2 bell pepper, chopped
  • 1/2 cup onion, chopped
  • 3 garlic cloves, chopped
  • 2 cups salsa (or green chili, or enchilada sauce- whatever you like)
  • 8 tablespoons queso fresco, for garnish
  • 1/2 cup cilantro, fchopped, for garnish

Directions

  1. 1
    Heat veggie oil in a saucepan or skillet with high sides.
  2. 2
    Fry tortilla strips in small batches until crispy but not too brown.
  3. 3
    Let strips dry on a paper towel-covered plate.
  4. 4
    Brown chorizo in a frying pan with the chopped pepper, onion and garlic. When cooked through, let chorizo and veggies drain on another paper towel-covered plate.
  5. 5
    Wipe down the frying pan and use it to scramble eggs (adding a little oil or Pam to the pan). When they're almost set, add the chorizo and veggies back in, and mix in the tortilla strips. Add about a cup of salsa/chili until the tortilla chips become less crispy and more chewy.
  6. 6
    When everything is well mixed, it's ready to be served! I add additional salsa/chili on top and garnish with queso fresco and cilantro.
