When I was little my mom would make this when she had tortillas that were a little bit dried out and it remains one of our family's favorites. Now with high quality tortilla chips it's a fast meal, too. —MaSaBeMama

Ingredients
-
1
Bag Tortilla Chips made from real tortillas (not Doritos-style)
-
8
Eggs
-
8 ounces
grated cheese that melts well (jack, mozzarella, brick)
-
1
8 ounce can tomato sauce
-
1
yellow onion, coarsely chopped
-
1 tablespoon
dried oregano

4
cloves garlic, chopped

Olive Oil for Pan
Directions
-
Pour tomato sauce into medium sauce pan and dilute with 1 cup water. Add chopped onion, garlic and oregano and simmer together while preparing tortillas and eggs.
-
In wok shaped pan, heat olive oil over medium high heat and add tortilla chips. Toss chips until lightly coated with oil and hot. Reduce heat to medium.
-
Clear a space on the bottom of the pan, and break an egg into the space. Let it set a bit, then stir and toss within the tortilla chips. Repeat with all eggs. More oil may be needed - add sparingly.
-
When all eggs are set and mixed with tortillas, pour tomato sauce over tortillas and toss quickly to coat tortillas.
-
When all tortillas are coated with sauce and steaming, add grated cheese and toss. It will melt on contact. Serve immediately.
