Read an Excerpt

Scrambled Egg Chilaquiles
8 large eggs
3 tablespoons
whole milk
Pinch of salt
¼ cup shredded
Cheddar cheese
3 corn tortillas
2 tablespoons canola oil
1 large poblano chile, seeded and cut into thin strips
2 ripe tomatoes, chopped
MAKES 4 SERVINGS
 
In a medium bowl, whisk the eggs, milk, and salt until nice and frothy. Stir in the shredded cheese. Set aside.
 
Stack the tortillas and cut the stack in half, then cut each stack into wedges or crosswise into strips about ½ inch wide. Set aside.
 
Put the canola oil in a cast-iron skillet or large nonstick frying pan and set the pan over medium heat. Add the chile and cook, stirring often, until softened, 4 to 5 minutes. Add the tortilla wedges and cook, stirring constantly, until they begin to brown, about 2 minutes. Reduce the heat to medium-low, pour in the egg mixture, and cook, stirring often and scraping the pan bottom to prevent sticking, until the eggs are set but still moist, 2 to 3 minutes longer. Gently stir in the tomatoes and serve right away.
