Ingredients
12 large eggs, lightly beaten
6 cups good-quality corn tortilla chips
1 medium onion, chopped
2 tablespoons olive oil

Accompaniment: bottled green salsa
Preparation
Step 1
Stir together eggs and tortilla chips.
Step 2
Cook onion in oil in a 12-inch heavy nonstick skillet over medium heat, stirring, until softened. Add chorizo and cook, breaking up any lumps, just until fresh sausage is no longer pink, about 3 minutes, or dried is heated through, about 1 minute.
Step 3
Add egg mixture and cook over medium-high heat, stirring frequently, until set but still moist, 2 to 3 minutes.
