My mom made this for us when we were kids, because neither my brother nor I would eat plain scrambled eggs (shudder). So she made these instead, which are nommy. Also very simple.
Fritos and Eggs
INGREDIENTS:- Fritos
- Eggs
- Bacon grease or butter
Begin by heating up your bacon grease in a skillet. Once it's hot, crunch up your Fritos into the bacon grease. For two eggs, you want to use maybe a couple handfuls of the regular Fritos. Brown the Fritos for a minute or so, then crack your eggs into them and scramble them up with a spatula. Serve. Yum.
Just in case you thought I was kidding
Chips browning in the bacon grease
Put the eggs in with the chips and scramble
May not look like much but you put it in your mouth, you'll see.
And here it is on the plate. Well, two plates - Mom wanted some, too!
I add a little chili powder, cumin, cayenne and garlic to the basic recipe. I will also use minced serrano's or jalapenos, when on hand, in place of the cayenne.
