2 cups (about 3 ounces) coarsely broken no-salt-added tortilla chips
½ cup mild salsa
½ cup low-fat shredded cheddar cheese
Garnish: 2 tablespoons chopped cilantro and extra shredded cheese
Directions
Before you begin: Wash your hands.
- In a bowl, combine eggs and salt; stir with a wire whisk and set aside.
- Heat olive oil in a large skillet over medium-high heat. Add green onions and cook for 2 minutes or until they begin to soften.
- Add egg mixture to skillet and cook for 1 minute without stirring, until the edges of the eggs are set.
- Stir in tortilla chips and salsa; cook for 2 minutes or until tortilla chips begin to soften. At this point, the eggs' texture will resemble traditional scrambled eggs.
- Remove from heat and add cheese; stir until combined and cheese begins to melt. Sprinkle with cilantro and extra cheese, if desired.
