Slacker Especial

This recipe is a variation of a dish my wife ordered in a Seattle diner called "the Dish". It can put some people off abit with the tortilla chip crumbles that get a little moist and the texture that the enchilada sauce gives the egg. However, most people become instant fans when they taste it.

I have done a variation of this using green or red salsa for years. If you don't have enchilada sauce or if you'd just prefer salsa that's good too. Great way to use up those annoying left-over tortilla chip crumbs that never seem to get eaten and get thrown out.

1 tsp butter
4 whole eggs, 1 egg white, beaten with 1 tsp water
2 tbsp canned, diced, roasted, mild green chiles
1/3 cup enchilada sauce
1 cup tortilla chip crumbles
1/2 cup cheddar cheese, grated
1 tbsp sour cream
1 tbsp salsa
1 green onion, diced

Heat the butter in a non-stick skillet on medium heat and beat the eggs until smooth. When the butter starts to bubble, add the eggs and reduce heat to medium-low and scramble the eggs.

When the egg is just set, add the chiles and enchilada sauce and stir together until evenly encorporated. Now add the tortilla chip crumbles and cheese and toss.

Plate family style with the sour cream and salsa on top. Sprinkle with the green onion and garnish with whole tortilla chips. Might need a dash of hot sauce for those who prefer it more caliente.
