At the bed and breakfast where I worked as a cook for many years, this was a favorite among our visitors. You can also include diced tomatoes or sautéed onions if you’d like. A warmed flour tortilla and pinto or black beans are occasionally served with this dish. A side of chorizo sausage or any other breakfast meat of your choice works great with this dish as well.

I was looking for a quick breakfast and this recipe did the trick. I have made similar with a red salsa but the green chilies sounded better. They were. I did not have tortillas but I had chips that I crumbled in when the eggs were about half cooked. They were perfect. I think I will get some hotter peppers next time as the ones I had were mild and I felt it needed more kick. I am also going to try adding some fresh baby spinach, let it wilt a bit at the end and serve it for dinner. Photo next time. I was too hungry this time.
Delicious and simple. Came together in less than 10 mins. Used Hatch jarred green chilis I picked up in Walmart. Similar to canned green chilis. Might add some garlic next time too. Served w/ a green salad for dinner. Yummy!
I used tortilla strip toppings for salads so they would be crunchy and use hot green chiles to up the wow factor. Quick, easy and worth making again.
I used bacon grease to try my tortilla strips. I fried them until they were crisp. Otherwise the tortilla strips wind up being mushy. I used 2 hatch chili’s and did not measure anything.
I used olive oil instead of butter to cut down on fat. It was good but nothing spectacular. Simple tasting. Topped it with salsa and it did need it because it was a little bit bland. I used a whole can of mild green chilis for 2 servings.
I used salsa instead of green chiles! Tasty!!!
This was a great way to use leftover corn tortillas! I used a pizza cutter to cut the tortillas into strips. Try cotija cheese in place of the cheddar sometime!
Simple, fast, and delicious! I followed the recipe and used two heaping tablespoons of 505 Southwestern Medium Roasted Green Chiles (this product comes in a jar already chopped). Next time, I’ll add some chorizo, breakfast sausage, or bacon to the pan. Sometimes it’s the simple recipes that turn out best. Thank you bakerbob.
Yummy.. had for lunch today. will add some meat next time
