Ingredients
  

8 oz tortilla chips

1 cup shredded cheddar cheese

1 cup shredded pepper jack cheese

1 can (4 oz) diced hatch green chilies, drained

4 large eggs

1/4 cup milk

1/2 tsp taco seasoning

Salt and pepper, to taste

Olive oil, for frying

1 ripe avocado, sliced

1/2 cup fresh salsa

1/4 cup sour cream

2 green onions, thinly sliced

Fresh cilantro, for garnish

Instructions
 

Prep the Base: Preheat your oven to 350°F (175°C). On a large baking sheet lined with parchment paper, spread the tortilla chips in an even layer to ensure optimal crispiness and a solid foundation for your toppings.

    Create the Cheesy Layer: In a mixing bowl, combine the shredded cheddar and pepper jack cheeses. Sprinkle half of this delicious cheese mixture generously over the tortilla chips. Evenly distribute the drained diced hatch green chilies on top of the cheese for an extra kick.

      Bake the Foundation: Place the baking sheet in the preheated oven and bake for about 5-7 minutes, until the cheese is melted and bubbly. Keep a close eye on them to prevent burning, as oven temperatures can vary.

        Scramble the Eggs: While the nachos are baking to perfection, prepare the scrambled eggs. In a bowl, whisk together the eggs, milk, taco seasoning, and a pinch of salt and pepper for flavor. In a non-stick skillet, heat a drizzle of olive oil over medium heat. Pour in the egg mixture and gently stir with a spatula until the eggs are fully cooked, about 3-4 minutes, ensuring they remain soft and fluffy.

          Assemble the Nachos: Once the cheese on the nachos is melted and bubbling enticingly, carefully remove the baking sheet from the oven. Evenly distribute the fluffy scrambled eggs over the cheesy nachos, then sprinkle the remaining cheese mixture on top. Return the nachos to the oven for an additional 2-3 minutes to allow the new layer of cheese to melt beautifully.

            Garnish and Serve: Take the nachos out of the oven and give them a moment to cool slightly. For a fresh and colorful touch, top with sliced avocado, a generous scoop of fresh salsa, creamy dollops of sour cream, sliced green onions, and a sprinkle of fresh cilantro.

              Enjoy: Serve immediately while hot and enjoy these flavorful and satisfying breakfast nachos with family and friends!
