1 small bunch green onions, chopped
1 can (10 oz) enchilada sauce
5 cups yellow tortilla chips
1 recipe for fresh salsa* (below)
6 eggs, lightly beaten
1/4 cup milk
Sour cream, optional
Farmers cheese, optional

Directions

the cilantro and half the green onions (use remaining for Fresh Salsa Recipe).
Cook and stir 1 minute. Stir in enchilada sauce; gently stir in chips.

2. Prepare the Fresh Salsa.

Fresh Salsa:
In bowl combine the reserved cilantro and green onions;
1 cup grape tomatoes, halved; 1 avocado, peeled, seeded,and chopped;
1 Serrano pepper, seeded and chopped; and the juice from half a lime.

salt and pepper. In a large skillet melt remaining 2 tsp butter over
medium heat; add eggs. With a spatula, lift and fold partially cooked
egg mixture from edges to center so that the uncooked egg portion flows underneath.

but
still glossy and moist. Remove from heat.
