Ingredients
  

8 oz tortilla chips

1 cup shredded cheddar cheese

1 cup shredded Monterey Jack cheese

4 large eggs

1/2 cup diced Hatch green chilies (fresh or canned)

1/2 cup cooked and crumbled breakfast sausage (optional)

1/2 cup diced tomatoes

1/4 cup sliced green onions

1/4 cup sour cream

1 avocado, diced

Fresh cilantro for garnish

Salt and pepper to taste

Instructions
 

Preheat the Oven: Set your oven to preheat at 350°F (175°C) so it's hot and ready for the nachos.

    Prepare the Base: Line a large baking sheet with parchment paper for easy cleanup, then spread the tortilla chips in an even layer across the sheet.

      Add the Cheese: Sprinkle half of the shredded cheddar and Monterey Jack cheeses over the chips, ensuring that they are well-covered for optimal meltiness.

        Cook the Eggs: In a medium-sized skillet, crack the eggs into a bowl and whisk them well, seasoning with salt and pepper. Over medium heat, pour in the eggs and gently scramble them, cooking just until they’re softly set but still creamy.

          Layer It Up: Once the scrambled eggs are ready, fold in the cooked breakfast sausage (if you choose to use it) and the diced Hatch chilies. Stir carefully to mix everything together without breaking the eggs too much.

            Assemble the Nachos: Spoon the delicious egg and chili mixture evenly over the layer of chips. Now, sprinkle the remaining cheddar and Monterey Jack cheeses generously on top.

              Bake the Nachos: Transfer the baking sheet to the preheated oven. Bake for about 10-15 minutes, or until the cheeses are melted to perfection and bubbly.

                Finish with Fresh Toppings: After removing the nachos from the oven, add the diced tomatoes, sliced green onions, and diced avocado on top. Then, give a generous drizzle of sour cream to enhance those flavors.

                  Garnish: Scatter fresh cilantro leaves over the nachos as a vibrant and flavorful finishing touch.

                    Serve Immediately: Serve the nachos right away while they're hot and gooey for the best experience. Encourage everyone to dig in and enjoy this hearty breakfast treat!
