Description

This is a quick and easy, classic Mexican breakfast. It's prepared with scrambled eggs, fried tortilla strips or pieces, cheese and a choice of sauce.

Ingredients

• 1/4 c. cooking oil
• 12 corn tortillas, cut into bite-sized pieces or strips
• 1 c. enchilada sauce or salsa
• 4 eggs
• 1 T. milk
• 1/4 t. smoked paprika
• salt and pepper, to taste
• Choice of toppings: Cotija, queso fresco or favorite shredded cheese, diced red onions, cilantro, sliced avocado, sour cream or Mexican crema

Steps

1. In a small bowl, whisk the eggs, milk and seasonings together; set aside.
2. Add enough oil to a large skillet to cover the bottom. Heat over medium-high heat.
3. Once the oil gets hot, carefully lay some tortillas along the bottom of the pan, frying them in 2-3 batches. Don't overlap the tortillas, or they won't get crispy enough to hold up with the sauce and not get soggy.
