Grilled Southwestern Scramble

(from castro15’s recipe box)

Categories: Breakfast

Ingredients

  • Cooking spray
  • 8 large eggs
  • 3 cups coarsely crumbled tortilla chips
  • 4 tbsp. green or red salsa
  • 1/2 cup grated Monterey or pepper jack
  • Chopped avocado
  • Fresh cilantro leaves
  • Hot sauce
  • Chopped red onion

Directions

  1. Prepare a grill for indirect heat.

  2. Cut out eight 8×12-inch pieces of heavy-duty foil. Layer to make four 2-layer stacks. Fold up the edges and corners of each stack to form four 5×8-inch boats. Spray with cooking spray.

  3. In a large bowl, whisk the eggs. Fold in the chips to coat. Place the foil boats on the lit side of the grill and heat 30 seconds. Divide the egg mixture among the boats and add 1 tbsp. salsa to each. Cook, stirring occasionally with a heatproof rubber spatula, until the eggs begin to set, about 1 minute. Slide the packets to the unlit side of the grill and cook, stirring occasionally, until the eggs are very softly set, 3-5 minutes longer. Top with the cheese, cover and cook until the eggs are softly set and the cheese is melted, about 1 minute. Transfer the packets to plates and top with the avocado, cilantro, hot sauce and onion.
