Ingredients

2 cups oil for frying
30 (6 inch) corn tortillas, torn into strips
0.25 cup chopped onion
6 eggs, lightly beaten
2 teaspoons salt
1 (7.75 ounce) can Mexican style hot tomato sauce
0.5 cup water
0.5 cup shredded Monterey Jack cheese

Instructions

Gather all ingredients. Heat oil in a large, heavy skillet to 350 degrees F (175 degrees C).
Fry tortillas and onion in hot oil until crisp and golden brown, stirring frequently for even cooking.
Remove to a paper towel-lined plate to drain excess oil. Drain the skillet, leaving only a thin residue of flavorful oil.
Place the skillet over medium heat. Return fried tortillas and onion to the skillet and stir in beaten eggs; season with salt to taste. Cook and stir until eggs are firm and cooked through.
Stir in tomato salsa and water. Reduce heat to low and simmer until thickened to your preferred consistency, about 10 minutes.
Sprinkle generously with cheese and continue cooking until cheese is melted and bubbly.
