Firstly, I had this dish for the first time NOT in Mexico, but in a tex-mex restaurant in Dallas, Texas. I fell in love with it because you could eat this for breakfast, lunch or dinner!! It has some of my fav ingredients and has so much flavor and pizzazz. Its also a one pot meal with protein, carbohydrate and veggies all in one. ( You could add more veggies in this if you wish) But one key thing is that it needs to be eaten as soon as its made.
Ingredients :
1 cup- good quality salsa or here is an easy recipe( http://allrecipes.com/recipe/easy-blender-salsa)
4 tortillas or 4 chapathis
Jalapeno chilli fresh- half- sliced
Any kind of cheese- as needed(1/2 cup)
eggs- 4-5 beaten
Onion- 1 diced or sliced lenghtwise
Salt and pepper- to taste
Oil- 4 tablespoons
Method:
Heat 1 tablespoon oil in a non stick frying pan. Cut up tortillas or rotis in bite size pieces and shallow fry in oil abt 2 minutes on each side. You want them to be golden brown. Remove and repeat till all tortillas strips are crisp.
Place them in a paper towels. To the same pan add 2 tabelspoons oil and add Jalapeno and onion and saute for 4 minutes till they r brown. Add beaten eggs and salt and peper and scarmble them and let them cook for about 5-7 minutes until they r no longer runny.
Take the eggs out in a bowl and add the tortilla strips and the salsa together and stir on low heat for 2-3 minutes.
Take an oven safe dish and place some tortilla strips in the bottom, stack some eggs on top and add some cheese and repeat this till you have tortill strips on top. Sprinkle some more cheese and broil in the oven at high heat for 2 minutes till the cheese is bubbly and melted. Serve with a side salad and enjoy a beer with it if you make this for dinner!!! :) :)
