Ingredients

  • Vegetable Oil, For Frying

  • 8 corn tortillas, cut into ⅛ triangles

  • 6 Eggs

  • 1 ½ teaspoons kosher salt, divided

  • ½ teaspoon garlic powder

  • 1 tablespoon Olive Oil

  • 1 white onion, diced

  • 1 jalapeño, diced

  • 1 Roma tomato, diced

Directions

  • Heat one inch of frying oil in a large skillet over medium-high heat. While the oil is heating up, whisk the eggs, 1 teaspoon kosher salt, and garlic powder in a medium bowl and set aside.
  • Add the corn tortillas to the skillet and fry until crispy, about 2-3 minutes. You may have to work in batches depending on the size of your skillet. Transfer the fried tortilla chips onto a plate lined with paper towels to soak up any excess oil. Season with the remaining ½ teaspoon of kosher salt and set aside.
  • In a separate large skillet, heat the olive oil over medium heat. Add the onion, jalapeño, and tomato and sauté until soft and tender, about 5-7 minutes.
  • Add the tortilla chips into the vegetable skillet and gently fold to combine the ingredients together.
  • Add whisked eggs and fold them into the crispy tortillas and vegetable mix. Cook for about 2 to 4 minutes, until the eggs are fully cooked and no longer runny, gently folding to mix in the eggs.
  • Remove from heat, taste and season with more salt to taste. Serve with chopped cilantro, queso fresco, or Mexican crema if desired.
