Number of Servings:
Ingredients:
- 1 cups - Canola oil
- 8 whole - Corn tortillas cut into 3/4-inch strips
- 3/8 teaspoons - Salt
- 6 whole - Eggs beaten
- 2 cups - Shredded cooked chicken
- 1 cups - Salsa verde
- - Shredded queso fresco, sliced scallions and chopped cilantro (optional)
Directions:
1. Heat oil in a large heavy-bottomed skillet over medium-high heat until shimmering, about 350° to 375° on a deep-fry thermometer. Fry tortilla strips in 3 batches until golden-brown, 1 to 2 minutes each, gently moving around in oil with a slotted spoon. Remove with spoon to a paper-towel-lined plate. Season strips with 1/4 (2/8) tsp of the salt.
2. Carefully discard all but 1 tbsp of the oil. Add eggs and cook over medium heat until scrambled, about 2 minutes. Season with remaining 1/8 tsp salt. Meanwhile, heat chicken and salsa verde in a medium pan.
3. Arrange tortilla strips on a large platter. Spoon chicken mixture on top, then scatter eggs on the chicken. Garnish with shredded queso fresco, sliced scallions and chopped cilantro, if desired.
