Decadent Huevos Doritos

Trish — Wed, 04 Feb 2009 19:00:19 +0000

Kickin’ it old school Food Askew, recipes were shared and inspiration occurred! Our chef for this recipe, randilicious, was inspired by SweetIrony!’s Huevos Doritos and his overflowing amount of leftover chili and voila! Decadent Huevos Doritos were born!

Submitted by randilicious
Serves 6-8

1 small bag Nacho Cheese Doritos		2 eggs, yolk & white
1 egg white		Shredded Cheddar cheese
2 – 3 c. randilicious chili

1. Scramble together the 2 whole eggs & 1 egg white.
2. Spread chips onto a plate.
3. Place scrambled eggs over the top of the Doritos.
4. Add shredded cheddar over top, to taste.
5. Top with chili.
6. Top with more cheese.

Chef’s Note: I actually used a slightly healthier alternative called Cactus Joe 100% Stone Ground Corn Nacho Cheese chips instead of Doritos.

Serves 1

1 small bag Nacho Cheese Doritos		2-3 eggs
Shredded Cheddar cheese		Taco Sauce

Scramble two or three eggs. Crush the Doritos up just a little, & put on the plate. Put scrambled eggs over the top of the Doritos. Add shredded cheddar over the top, to taste. Top with your favorite taco sauce. Eat.

Chef’s Note: It might sound kind of trashy, but good is good. Taco Bell mild sauce works REALLY WELL.
