Today for brunch we tried another recipe from the cook book United Tastes of Texas (thanks again Jay and Jean!).  We made Chilaquiles (pronounced chill-ay-kee-us).  Sort of like nachos with a fried egg on top? So so yummy! Especially with avocado on the side.

Here’s a photo…we will add the how-to later (we have to go to a soccer game now)

(Back from soccer.) Here are the ingredients. There were a lot of steps but they were easy (and worth it):

First you sautee onion and garlic; then you add canned tomatoes (we also added fresh grated tomatoes). If you have a halepeno pepper, and like the heat, chop that and add it in too. Then you layer corn tortilla chips in a dish and spoon the tomato/onion mix on top.  Add grated cheese (we added a combo of cheddar, jarlsberg, gruyere and cojitia but use whatever you like) and bake for 20 minutes.

Finally fry a few eggs and put them on top.  Garnish with avocado,cilantro…whatever you have in the fridge and want to eat:). Dad added hot sauce but he adds that to everything.
