Preparation

Step 1

Melt butter in a large, heavy skillet. Add onion and tomato and cook until onion is transparent. Beat eggs in a medium-size bowl and add milk and crushed chips. Mince half the jalapeno slices.

Add the egg mixture to the skillet and cook, stirring just until eggs begin to set. Add chili and garlic powder. Add cheeses and minced jalapenos. Continue cooking eggs until set. Add salt and pepper to taste. Serve on plates, sprinkling extra cheese and remaining jalapeno on top.
