ingredients

  • 4 corn tortillas or 1 cup tortilla chips if you prefer not to make your own
  • Oil for frying
  • 12 eggs
  • 1/2 tsp paprika
  • 1/4 cup heavy cream
  • 1 Tbsp olive oil
  • 1 green pepper chopped
  • 1 red pepper chopped
  • 1/2 white onion chopped
  • 1 jalapeno seeded and chopped
  • 1 large tomato seeded and chopped
  • 1 cup shredded sharp cheddar cheese
  • 1/4 cup fresh cilantro chopped
  • Salt & pepper
  • Toppings: Cholula hot sauce salsa, sour cream, extra fresh chopped cilantro, guacamole, extra shredded sharp cheddar cheese

instructions

  • In a small skillet, pour in frying oil until it is approximately 1/2" deep. Heat over medium-high heat. Once the oil is hot, add one corn tortilla to the skillet. Fry until golden brown on both sides, approximately 45 seconds to 1 minute per side, and remove to a paper towel lined plate to drain. Repeat with the remaining tortillas. Once cool, chop the tortilla chips into 1" pieces. If you are using store-bought tortilla chips, chop them into the same size. Set aside.
  • In a medium bowl, whisk together eggs, heavy cream, and paprika. Season with salt and pepper. Set aside.
  • In a large skillet, heat 2 Tbsp of olive oil over medium-high heat. Once the oil is hot, add in onion, green pepper and red pepper. Cook until the onions are browned, approximately 4 to 5 minutes. Stir in jalapeño and tomato. Stir in the tortilla chips and reduce heat to low.
  • Pour the egg mixture into the large skillet. Gently stir and fold the mixture, cooking until the eggs are cooked to your liking. Personally, I prefer my eggs to be a little runny, but it's up to you! Stir in cheese and cilantro. Once the cheese is melted, remove from heat.
  • Serve immediately with lots and lots of toppings!
