Chilaquiles 
This is a fast easy breakfast, and an excellent way to use up stale tortillas or leftover tacos. In fact, if you live near a tacqueria that specializes in quisados (stews), that's the best of all, because the tortilla will have absorbed all the lovely juice.
2 eggs
leftover soft taco on corn tortilla OR stale corn tortillas
a smidge of mexican or cheddar or jack cheese
leftover vegetables or beans
mexican sauce or salsa
- Take whatever leftovers you have, and chop them into smallish (1/2" square) pieces. Stale tortilla can be easily crushed or broken by hand or by molcajete y tejolote. Slice or crumb cheese if you use it.
- Get out a smallish fry pan, put it over low heat, and crack two eggs into it. Scramble them with a chopstick or something. It doesn't matter if you have chunks of yolk and chunks of white. Add your chopped leftovers and stir to combine. Sprinkle cheese on top. Cover.
- Let everything heat through, the egg set, and the cheese melt. Then, take off the heat and plate. Serve with mexican sauces like crema, ranchero, tomatillo sauce, or fresh salsa.
