Add green onions and chili to skillet; stir 2 minutes.

Reduce heat to medium. Add eggs and tortilla strips to skillet and stir until almost set, about 4 minutes. Add cheese, tomatoes and cilantro.

  1. AZChef REVIEW:

    This was a very good breakfast. I did cut down the amount of jalapeno a bit though as one tablespoon seemed like a lot. The tortilla strips were a nice touch.

  2. Valerie REVIEW:

    What a fun and tasty recipe! I'm always looking for ways to vary our breakfast and this one was definitely a winner. The crispy tortilla strips add a nice crunch and a few carbs to the meal. There is just the right balance of veggies and eggs in the mixture. Once the chopping and dicing was done of the onions, tomatoes, etc it was really quick to put together.
