This is one of my favorite dishes to make. It’s comforting, bursting with flavor, and easily modifiable.
We buy tortilla chips every week and usually end up with half of the bag left over. Instead of throwing the rest out, I decided to try something new by adding them to this simple breakfast. You can even use stale tortilla chips and this dish would still be tasty!
The creaminess of the avocado, the runny egg, the crunchiness of the salty tortilla chips is a perfect blend in your mouth.
