"Easy, authentic Mexican recipe that my mom taught me. It's a casserole of tortilla chips mixed with eggs and salsa, and topped with cheese. Serve with refried beans."

Directions
{{model.addEditText}} Print- In a large, heavy skillet, heat the oil to 350 degrees F (175 degrees C). Carefully stir in the onion and tortilla strips. Fry until tortilla strips are crisp and golden brown. Remove from heat, and drain on paper towels. Drain the skillet, leaving only a thin residue of oil.
- Over medium heat, return tortillas to the skillet, and stir in the eggs. Season with salt. Cook and stir until eggs are firm.
- Mix Mexican style hot tomato sauce and water into the skillet. Reduce heat, and simmer until thickened, about 10 minutes. Top with cheese. Continue cooking until cheese has melted.

Boy, I'm sorry but this was a pretty big disappointment. First of all, I read the recipe and thought "The proportions are all wrong." Thirty (30!) tortillas vs. six eggs?? Uh-uh. But, not ha...

This is pretty good. I agree there is alot of tortillas, but here are some suggestions to make this lighter. With a pizza cutter, slice the tortillas into strips and spray with PAM and bake un...

I have been making this for years. Got the recipe verbally from a friend a long time ago and was glad to see it posted here. I use 1/2 red and 1/2 green sauce for a nice taste variety. There a...

Really filling, really good. Not the prettiest though. Definitely don't leave out the salt. I can see why this is a hangover helper - the grease from the tortillas could settle any stomach! ...

This recipe is very similar to one that a friend shared with me. The only thing I did different was that I reduced the amount of tortillas. I used one corn tortilla to one egg for the ratio and ...

Great! Just like I used to get in a downtown Chicago diner. My tortillas don't get as crispy as I'd like, but I suspect that's because I use olive oil for the frying. This is easy to prepare, ve...
