The Goods:

-One package of flour tortillas

-Shredded Mexican Cheese

-1 small can "El Pato" hot sauce (yellow can is red hot, green can is salsa verde) you can use any kind

-2 eggs

-Sour Cream

-Olive Oil

-1 White Onion

Tutorial:

Take about half (or a little more) of the tortillas from the package and cut them lengthwise into strips, and crosswise into little chips.

Take about 2 Tablespoons of olive oil and pour into a pan. 

Turn the pan onto medium heat and place the tortilla strips into the pan and fry them until golden brown.

Remove chips and place them on a plate that is lined with a paper towel to soak up the oil.

Chop onion into cubes or strips, (you can use whole onion or half it doesn't matter) and place them in the pan, add a little drizzle of oil if needed.

Cook down the onions until soft and golden.

Add the Eggs and scramble lightly with the onions.

Add the El Pato sauce to the eggs and onions

Add the crispy tortilla chips to the salsa and egg mixture, coat the chips fully.

Add the cheese (however much you like)

Remove pan from heat and plate the spicy goodness.

Add more cheese if you like with a dollop of sour cream.

ENJOY!

Fallout inspired: Wasteland Nachos

The Fallout games are my all time favorites. I can't get enough of the post apocalyptic story line and themes that go along with them. All the side quests can have me playing for hours on end. Yes, it is safe to say I am addicted and I need a doctor to rid me of my "chem" addiciton. LOL

So I came up with a mouth watering recipe. It took me quite some time to come up with something FALLOUT themed. So I thought to myself, what food out there do a majority of people like? NACHOS!  So here it is, WASTELAND NACHOS. Eat as much as you want! I promise you wont get RAD poisoning, it is safe to say you can toss your RADAWAY. :-)
