This clever egg recipe is full of flavor and ready in only 20 minutes. Eggs scrambled with crisp tortilla strips, golden sauteed onions, chiles and cheese are a can't miss combination for a quick breakfast or a breakfast-for-dinner when time is tight. This warm and inviting combination gets finished with some taco sauce and cilantro. If cilantro gives you the soapy taste try using chives or parsley instead. Serve these eggs with some whole wheat toast or some fresh mango tossed with lime juice and a touch of cayenne to keep with the Mexican theme.
