💰Cheaper: plain yogurt

Lentils are a healthy alternative; canned beans save time.

Cut 6 corn tortillas in half and then into thirds to make triangles.

Heat vegetable oil in a skillet to about 350°F.

Fry the tortilla triangles until they stop bubbling and are crispy.

Prepare the vegetables by dicing the tomato, onion, and serrano pepper.

In a bowl, whisk together 5 eggs, a little salt, a little pepper, and a splash of half and half.

Saute the onion in a little vegetable oil until lightly cooked.

Add the serrano pepper and tomato to the skillet and cook briefly.

Return the fried tortilla chips to the skillet with the vegetables.

Pour the egg mixture over the chips and let it set for a minute without stirring.

Once the eggs are about 95% cooked, turn off the heat and add cheddar cheese on top.

Cover the skillet for about 3 minutes to melt the cheese.
