3/24/2026 – These turned out great, and the cook was inspired by the recipe here. That site is by Mely Martinez, a former Mexican school teacher, home cook, and food blogger. She moved to the United States about ten years ago, after living in Mexico her whole life.
Ingredients
- Bacon fat
- Two large handfuls of silver dollar size tortillo chips
- 5 green onions chopped roughly
- 1 3″ tomato, seeded and chopped
- Small handful of ham diced
- Pace Picante, Medium
- 5 large eggs
Process
- Lightly saute the onions and tomato in bacon grease
- crumble one handful of chips into the pan
- Added the eggs, spaced evenly, and let the whites partially set
- Put the 2nd handful of chips on top of the yolks and gently stir it to break the yolks and mix in the chips partially
- Add spoonfuls of Picante
- Cover and let the eggs just barely get set.
- Serve with fresh cilantro.
Next Time
- Use sausage instead of ham
- add cheese
- Add a 6th egg plus a little more chips, maybe another small tomato, and there will definitely be enough for a second meal for the two of us.
