Those Campfire Recipes - Easy Chilequiles

My Mother taught me how to make this easy version of this so good Mexican breakfast. I like it in the campground because once you start with the basic ingredients of tortillas and eggs you can add variations from cheese to beans and always have something warm and good.

This is one of those recipes that I just start throwing stuff in the pan...no measuring, just warm goodness. You'll need the following:

Eggs
Tortillas (corn or flour ok, works well with tortilla chips, too)
Butter

Your choice of:
Shredded cheddar cheese
Salsa or hot sauce
Chopped Tomatoes
Chopped Bacon or Some Sausage
Refried Beans

Start by melting some butter in your frying pan...you'll want a generous amount as the tortillas really absorb the butter and your pan will dry out causing the eggs to stick if you don't keep adding it. Tear up your tortillas and fry in the butter. Once they are crisp, add scrambled raw eggs and any other ingredients except beans and stir until the eggs are cooked. Top with beans and warmed salsa and enjoy.
