EGG AND TORTILLA CHIP BAKE

Steps:

• Preheat the oven to 375 degrees F. Lightly coat a rectangular 2-quart baking dish with cooking spray. Spread half of the chips in the bottom of the prepared baking dish.
• Whisk together the milk, ancho chile powder, eggs and a pinch each of salt and pepper in a large bowl until well combined. Stir in the green chiles, cilantro and 1/2 cup of the pepper jack; pour into the baking dish. Bake until the casserole is set around the edges but a little loose in the center, 20 to 25 minutes.
• Sprinkle the remaining chips over the casserole. Sprinkle with the remaining 1/2 cup pepper jack and continue to bake until the cheese is melted and the casserole is set in the center, about 10 minutes more. Let stand 10 minutes. Top with whole cilantro leaves, salsa verde and/or pickled jalapenos. Serve with sour cream.

CORN-TORTILLA AND EGG SCRAMBLE

Steps:

• In a large nonstick skillet, heat oil over medium-high. Add tortillas and cook, stirring frequently, until golden and crisp, about 6 minutes. With a slotted spoon, transfer to paper towels to drain. Discard 1/3 of the oil from skillet. Add onion and chile and cook until onion is soft, about 5 minutes. Add tomato and cook until it begins to break down, 2 to 3 minutes. Season with salt and pepper.
• Add eggs, tortillas, and cheese and cook, stirring constantly, until eggs are set, about 3 minutes. Serve with salsa or hot sauce if desired.

COUNTRY EGGS IN TORTILLA CUPS

Steps:

• Heat oven to 400°F. Turn four 6-ounce custard cups upside down onto cookie sheet. Spray both sides of each tortilla lightly with cooking spray. Place tortilla over each cup, gently pressing edges toward cup. Bake 8 to 10 minutes or until light golden brown. Remove tortillas from cups; place upright on serving plates.
• Spray 8- or 10-inch nonstick skillet with cooking spray; heat over medium heat. Cook potatoes and bell pepper in skillet about 5 minutes, stirring occasionally, until potatoes are light brown. Mix eggs, milk and salt; stir into potatoes. Cook about 3 minutes, stirring occasionally, until eggs are almost set.
• Spoon one-fourth of the egg mixture into each tortilla cup. Top with cheese and sour cream. Serve immediately with salsa.

BAKED EGGS AND TORTILLAS IN CREAMY TOMATO SAUCE

Steps:

• Preheat oven to 400. In a medium saucepan, heat oil over medium-high. Add onion and cook until translucent, about 8 minutes. Season with salt and pepper; add garlic and cook until fragrant, 30 to 45 seconds. Add flour and stir to coat. Pour in tomatoes, scraping up browned bits. Add red-pepper flakes and season with salt and pepper. Cook until tomato sauce is thickened and bubbling, 2 to 3 minutes. Stir in half-and-half and remove pan from heat.
• Spread 1 cup tomato sauce in a 9-by-13-inch baking dish. Place tortilla strips in an even layer over sauce. Spread remaining sauce over tortillas. Break eggs over top and sprinkle with cheese. Bake until sauce is bubbling and egg whites are set, about 25 minutes.

EGGS IN TORTILLAS

Steps:

• Preheat oven to 375F degrees.
• Spray 6 ramekins or custard cups with non-stick cooking spray (like Pam) and gently push a tortilla into each; you'll have to make some pleats.
• Reserve 6 teaspoons of the finely diced red pepper; combine remaining pepper with onions and parsley in a small bowl.
• Divide veggie mixture between the 6 tortillas.
• Crack 1 egg into a small bowl and gently tip into one of the tortillas, placing egg on top of the veggies; repeat until all 6 tortillas are filled.
• Sprinkle with salt and pepper if you wish.
• Place baking sheet in the oven and bake for 20 minutes.
• Remove and sprinkle 1 tsp of the raw red pepper you saved on top of each egg; serve.
• Variation: sprinkle some shredded cheddar or mozzarella on top of eggs before baking.

TORTILLAS WITH EGGS

Steps:

• Heat oil in heavy medium nonstick skillet over medium heat. Add tortillas and stir until softened, about 1 minute. Add eggs, chilies, and cilantro. Stir until eggs are softly set, about 3 minutes. Season with hot pepper sauce, salt and pepper.

EGG-STUFFED TORTILLAS

Steps:

• Preheat a comal or skillet over medium heat. Meanwhile, cut freezer bag along either side to create a large plastic sheet; prepare the tortilla press by covering the bottom plate with half the sheet. Place a tortilla ball in the center of the bottom plate and flatten slightly with your hand; then cover the ball with the other half of the plastic sheet. Lower the press firmly so that the dough is sandwiched between the two plates. Open the press, flip the circle of dough (still sandwiched in plastic), and press again. Remove the flattened tortilla: it should be about 6 inches in diameter and an even thickness throughout.
• Place tortilla onto the preheated comal or skillet. Watch for the edge of the tortilla to begin to dry out and turn opaque, 1 minute. Flip and cook the other side until the tortilla turns opaque and blistery, 1 more minute. After the third flip, when the tortilla puffs up, use your fingers or a spatula to take it off the comal. Quickly use a paring knife to make a 2-3-inch slit along one edge (watch out for hot steam!): now you have a tortilla pocket. Crack an egg into a small bowl, then slide the egg into the tortilla pocket and add a sprinkle of salt. Return the tortilla, now holding the egg, to the comal. Cook the tortilla for about 1 minute per side (or longer, depending on how "done" you like your yolk), until the egg feels set and there's no visible uncooked egg white. Repeat with other tortillas and eggs.
• Serve immediately with pinch of salt on top and 1-2 spoonfuls of fresh salsa verde.
