Ingredients
- 2 tablespoons olive oil, divided, or to taste
- 1 small onion, finely chopped
- 1 jalapeno pepper, finely chopped
- 1 small tomato, diced
- 2 cloves garlic, minced
- 1/2 cup salsa verde (green salsa)
- 1/2 teaspoon ground cumin
- salt and ground black pepper to taste
- 3 cups tortilla chips
- 5 large eggs
- 1/2 cup crumbled Cotija cheese
- 1 medium avocado, sliced
- 1/4 cup chopped fresh cilantro
- 2 tablespoons sour cream, or to taste
Instructions
1
Preheat the stove to a medium-high heat setting. Place 1 tablespoon of olive oil in a cooking vessel and allow it to warm up for a few seconds. Introduce the onion and jalapeño into the pan, stirring constantly until they reach a translucent state. This process should take approximately 5 minutes.
2
Next, add the tomato and garlic to the pan, stirring for just 1 minute. Then, incorporate the salsa into the mixture and scrape any burnt residue from the bottom of the pan with a spoon. Add a pinch of cumin, salt, and pepper to season the dish.
3
Reduce the heat to a lower setting and let the mixture simmer for 2 minutes. At this point, introduce tortilla chips to the pan and stir until they are evenly coated with the sauce.
4
Heat an additional 1 tablespoon of oil in a separate cooking vessel over medium-high heat. In a bowl, whisk together eggs until they are well combined. Then, pour the egg mixture into the hot pan and allow it to cook for 2 minutes.
5
Use a spatula to gently scrape the cooked egg from the edges of the pan and fold it into the center. Continue cooking for an additional 2 to 3 minutes, or until the eggs are halfway cooked but still retain some moisture.
6
Combine the egg mixture with the tortilla chip mixture, stirring constantly to finish scrambling the eggs. After 2 minutes of continuous stirring, add some Cotija cheese and turn off the heat.
7
Divide the egg mixture among four plates. To complete the dish, garnish each plate with avocado, cilantro, and a dollop of sour cream.
