Ingredients:

1/3 cup lightly crushed tortilla chips
1/4 cup chopped onion
1/4 cup diced tomatoes
2 tablespoons chopped jalapeño peppers
1 teaspoon vegetable oil
2 large eggs, lightly beaten
Pinch of salt and pepper

Sauté first 4 ingredients in hot oil in a medium-size nonstick skillet over medium heat 3 to 4 minutes or just until onion is translucent.

Whisk together eggs, salt, and pepper. Add to skillet, and cook, without stirring, 1 to 2 minutes or until eggs begin to set on bottom. Gently draw cooked edges away from sides of pan to form large pieces. Cook, stirring occasionally, 2 minutes or until eggs are thickened and moist. (Do not overstir.) Spoon egg mixture into warm tortillas, and sprinkle with cheese serve immediately.
