Homemade Chilaquiles

The other night my man and I ran to HEB for some dinner. Our goal was to do one of their promoted "buy this and get all this free" type dinners. He has done this before and it was delicious brisket and such a steal for all you get. Well the deal was for something we were not wanting for dinner so on to the back-up plan! The only problem was we did not have a Plan B.

After wandering around HEB for a few minutes while I tried to come up with three options for my guy to choose from, he had a genius idea. Let's  make homemade chilaquiles!

They are my favorite, and I have posted about eating them at places like Cajun Kitchen in Santa Barbara or Maudies here in Austin.

So we grabbed a few things and headed home to whip up our dinner.

And what a dinner it was! I, like always, wrapped mine up in a wheat tortilla and made a chilaquile taco! Here's a picture and a step by step...

This picture does not do justice to the dish. It looks cheesy and mushy but it was not. Definitely try this!


Ingredients:
10 scrambled eggs
A handful of spinach
1 regular sized jar of tomatillo green salsa
1 chopped green bell pepper
Half a chopped onion
1 chopped avocado
1 cup of grated cheese
1 bag of tortilla chips (we used the ones with a hint of pepper jack cheese, yum)

Preheat oven to 350 degrees. In a pan scramble the eggs and add spinach. Chop the bell pepper, onion, avocado then combine with eggs and spinach. In a big bowl dump almost the whole bag of chips and jar of salsa. With clean hands, work the eggs mixture into chips. Cover with cheese and heat in oven for 10 minutes. Remove and enjoy in wheat tortillas or by itself.
