Thanks!
It’s as if these places and plants are so remarkable, they just shoot themselves.
It seems even I can’t screw it up!

Crisp up 4 Chopped (I like 1/2 squares-easier to eat) corn tortillas in high temp oil in steel pan. The Crispier the better.
Move to large non-stick pan.
Blend 6 eggs, 1/2 jalapeno, 1 Serrano chile, depending on taste and heat.
Pour onto crispy tortilla chips. Add desired salt.
Cook on medium low. Put a top on the pan. Let the evaporating water cook the top. Check under the edge of eggs to make sure it's not over done. Serve top side up so it's nice and yellow color. I use a 6" wide spatula to cut and serve.
For me, no need to add salsa. It's good with avocados.
Enjoy.

A quick picture at work...
I'd guess @The Mush might see the point of this one, if no-one else does.

You have my Bride’s undivided!
She Must know the name of this dish!
She’s ready to go home and get to work on it immediately!
I must eat some!
I left out to use a wide pan so the eggs spread out and cook more evenly and quickly.You have my Bride’s undivided!

I cook it on medium low. Put a lid on the pan and let the water added to the eggs steam the top.
It's my variation of a dish my MIL (RIP at 98 in Dec 2017) started cooking about 80 years ago and my wife grew up on. Good stuff.
Name? Huevos de Tortillas Crujiente. Eggs with Crispy Tortillas is what we call it.
I leave the seeds in the jalapeño and serrano and slice them before blending. Adding tomato paste before bkending is and option as well. Heat is medium+.
And add two table spoons of water to the eggs before blending. Blend it up pretty good. Blending peppers with eggs gets you a little bit of heat in every bite-my variation.
You can also add some chopped and sautéed white onion to the crispy tortillas before adding the egg. We use white because it's less "oniony".
Also, adding some diced/sliced sweet peppers after the eggs are poured adds some color and flavor.
Easy dish to scale up or down.

Chilaquiles is better name/category.
Some add shredded chicken or beef, cheese, tomatoes, green onion, salsa. Top with diced cilantro. Add rice and beans and your set pretty much for the whole day.
Mm mm...good! Day or night.
My recipe gets it done quickly with few ingredients.

...late one afternoon, about a week ago... the sky over Central Texas...
I took this one 7 years ago, it popped up on my Facebook memories feed today...
I really do not care for hard boiled eggs with hard, green tinted yolks, shells that stick when peeling them and eggs that crack while cooking.
Here's my way to end up with unbroken egg shells, golden yolks and easy to peel shells:
1. Boil water.
2. While waiting for water to boil, run hottest faucet water over eggs. About 5 minutes.
3. After water comes to rolling boil, put eggs in gently, with tongs.
4. Cook for 8 minutes.
5. Remove eggs, place in bowl and run coldest faucet water over them for about 5 minutes.
Alternatively, fill bowl about half way with ice and water and let eggs sit for 5 to 10 minutes. I prefer this method because it stops eggs from continuing to cook more quickly.
Enjoy the easy to peel, soft golden yolks and perfect egg whites.

@Stumbo I must be feeling especially dumb this morning...my last is a shot of some plates...which seems appropriate as this thread is developing nicely as a cookery instruction lesson!
I'll be showing your egg posts to my daughter. Personally I don't care for eggs but she loves them.

Your last picture looks like a side vent on a hot rod hood. Now that I know what it is, I went back and took another look. Yeah, now I see it. Cool!
Re: cooking. I enjoy trying out different things. I like to figure out how to cook quickly as I can for hungry grandkids. And have fun taking pictures.
I'll post again as more dishes get done.
Oh, and try mixing a couple of HB eggs with avocado and a little bit of milk or half and half. Mmmmm....good.
On toast, dip with chips, side dish or small roll-ups with tortilla. Add your own seasonings. Good for all kinds of dishes.

Hot rods, sadly, were never a thing here in Ireland.
A shame. I could totally see myself in one of these...

We had a weird early-Spring snow here yesterday evening. Personally, I'm kinda' tired of Winter, and ready for it to be overwith, but there are much worse sights to wake up to than this was.
Jeannie is more of a Beach Bunny than a Snow Bunny...
...so we're dealing with stuff over coffee this morning.
