Chilaquiles, Antidote To Whateva Ails You

Recently hungover? A mother of a new baby? Dog tired? Recovering from a grueling workout with your training partner that threw you all over the mat like a rag doll? Here’s the answer, darlings. Utterly simplistic, just 4 ingredients, cooks in a flash, and will utterly fix your short-term hunger issues.

*First off, I know this can be made a lot of different ways, and I know that chilaquiles often have potatoes, sometimes cheese and occasionally peppers or chiles. This is just how it was served to me on an entirely too-early morning many many years ago and it stuck. So call it migas if you want to, but call it divine intervention when you are hungry.

Get ready: 2 eggs, beaten in a small bowl with a dash of milk splashed in, 1 handful of lightly crushed tortilla chips, and the salsa jar at the ready (get your spoon in there, honey!).

This is ideal for when you are recovering from anything because if you’re super hungry, it’ll take you only 5 minutes or less from the time you crack that first egg until you’re shoveling sweet chilequiles into your mouth. If you’re inebriated though, it might take you a few more minutes.

1. Warm up your skillet to medium-high (or a 7, in our house).
2. When its hot, spray the pan and then put in your eggs. Scramble them.
3. When they are ALMOST done, add in your crushed tortilla chips until they are integrated.
4. Turn off the burner, and add in 1-2 spoonfuls of your salsa, mix it in just a bit and then put it on your plate.
5. Get yourself some more chips, grab some OJ and sit down to eat!

Salsa kisses, your kitchen goddess.
