Taco Egg Hoosh

Ingredients: Serves 2:
¼ lb bacon, diced
3 cloves fresh garlic, minced
½ cup diced sweet onions
½ lb shredded (or ground) beef
½ can (8 oz) chili con carne
¼ tsp chili powder
¼ cup chopped olives
1 jalapeno peppers, diced, drained, dried
2 large eggs
1 cup shredded Colby (cheddar) cheese
1 cup mashed corn chips (no piece bigger than 1”)

Directions:
Heat a medium cast iron frying pan on medium high and add the bacon. As the bacon starts to give off bacon grease, add onions and garlic. As the onions begin to look transparent, the bacon should be nearly done. Add the shredded beef, chili powder, and salt & pepper to taste & stir well. Fry until beef is done, stirring from time to time to keep things from burning.

Add diced jalapeno and stir for a minute or two while you’re getting the chili con carne out. Turn the stove down to medium and add the chili & chopped olives, stirring regularly until the mixture is heated through and beginning to dry. Add eggs, shredded cheese, and broken corn chips. Scramble together. Cook until eggs are completely cooked through.

Serve with a slice of lime and a cold lager beer. Unless you’re having this for breakfast; then serve it with orange juice.
