We usually splurge for breakfast on the weekends. Weekdays are hectic getting hubbyman off to work and one kid off to school, so we usually have something easy like a bagel or toast or cereal. But the weekends are filled with great breakfasts like pancakes, waffles, french toast, egg burritos, and more.
Hubbyman and I were trying to duplicate a breakfast he had on our recent vacation, but it didn’t work out. We ended up with this really tasty version of breakfast nachos. The kids thought it was really cool that we let them have chips at breakfast…it went over really well.
Breakfast Nachos
8 eggs
8 corn tortillas
1/4 lb breakfast sausage or chorizo
4 oz shredded cheddar cheese
garnish: sour cream, salsa, additional cheese
Preheat oven to 400 degrees F. Cut each corn tortilla into 8 wedges and arrange on baking sheet in a single layer. Cook for 5-10 minutes until crispy.
Meanwhile, cook sausage over medium heat, breaking it apart into crumbles. When thoroughly cooked, remove to a papertowel-lined plate and remove any excess grease from the pan. Break eggs into a medium bowl and beat until well combined. Pour into hot pan and cook over medium heat stirring continually until eggs are almost set. When eggs are almost done add in cheese and sausage. Stir well to combine.
Layer chips, egg mixture, and garnishes as desired. Enjoy.
Serves 4.
I looove uncooked tortillas! You know you can make breakfast burritos and freeze them to reheat on weekdays? I like to make a big batch for The Hubs to take to work with him once a month
Oh I would love to try this! It looks so simple and easy to make. Already bookmarked your blog so I won’t miss other great recipes. thanks!
This looks so delicious and I guess my readers agree. You had the second highest number of visits this past week. I will be featuring you this week. Congrats. Thanks so much for sharing at Tuesday’s Tasty Tidbits.
Wendy,
This sounds like killer Breakfast Nachos and, at TortillaLand, we are grateful for your review. It’s people like you who have inspired us to start our own blog. We hope you come by to visit us. We’ll certainly be back to read more about you and can’t wait to try the breakfast nachos.

I love this idea!! Thanks for linking up to 2 Maids a Baking!!
Those look yummy!
I love a nice big “fancy” breakfast on the weekends too – well anything more than a muffin is fancy to me!
This is so easy to make..! Great blog and lovely recipe! Thanks for sharing.
Hope to see you on my blog:)
So funny that I read this today! This morning I made a breakfast burrito! This is a nice twist!
I have wanted desperately to try the corn ones but they only sell the flour ones here. I don’t know where to get them. I’m gluten free so I can’t have the flour ones. Awesome nachos! I would totally do this, thanks!
Oh no! I assume you tried their store locator to search your area….Hopefully they will get to your area soon!
This would be a great way to get plenty of protein to start the day. And yes, my kids would be impressed with the chips, too! 🙂
Quick and easy so maybe my husband can actually make this for me next Sunday morning!
These look great! New idea for breakfast that I will have to try.
We love to make our breakfast burritos, but it never occurred to me to nachos! I really like making my own chips, too.
I think corn tortillas are icky, so these could totally be worth a try.
Breakfast nachos – what a splendid idea!!
Sounds like a great idea. I’m game!
