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!

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.

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