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
½ cup salsa verde (green salsa)
½ teaspoon ground cumin
salt and ground black pepper to taste
3 cups tortilla chips
5 large eggs
½ cup crumbled Cotija cheese
1 medium avocado, sliced
¼ cup chopped fresh cilantro
2 tablespoons sour cream, or to taste
Directions
Heat 1 tablespoon olive oil in a skillet over medium-high heat. Add onion and jalapeño; cook and stir until onion is translucent, about 5 minutes. Add tomato and garlic; cook and stir for 1 minute. Add salsa and scrape any browned bits off the bottom of the pan. Season with cumin, salt, and pepper. Reduce the heat and simmer for 2 minutes. Add tortilla chips to the pan and stir until coated with sauce.
Heat remaining 1 tablespoon oil in a separate skillet over medium-high heat. Whisk eggs together in a bowl, then pour into the hot pan and cook until starting to set, about 2 minutes. Scrape cooked egg from the edges and fold into the center. Cook until eggs are halfway cooked but still runny, 2 to 3 minutes more.
Fold eggs into tortilla chip mixture. Keep stirring to finish scrambling the eggs, about 2 minutes. Add Cotija cheese and turn off the heat.
Divide egg mixture among four plates. Garnish with avocado, cilantro, and sour cream.
Tips
You can substitute cherry tomatoes for the whole tomato and Monterey Jack, Cheddar, or Oaxacan cheese for the Cotija.
Make your own tortilla chips by cutting and frying flour tortillas.
