Ingredients

Original recipe (1X) yields 8 servings

  • 2 tablespoons vegetable oil, or more as needed

  • 1 (26 ounce) package frozen hash browns

  • 1 onion, chopped

  • 8 slices bacon

  • 2 cups shredded Cheddar cheese

  • 1 (8 ounce) can roasted green chile peppers, chopped

  • 8 eggs

  • 12 (8 inch) flour tortillas

Directions

  1. Preheat oven to 350 degrees F (175 degrees C). Grease a 9x12-inch baking pan.

  2. Heat oil in a large skillet over medium heat. Add hash browns and onion; cook and stir until hash browns are crispy, about 10 minutes.

  3. Place bacon in a separate skillet and cook over medium-high heat, turning occasionally, until evenly browned, about 10 minutes. Drain bacon slices on paper towels. Crumble into smaller pieces.

  4. Layer hash brown-onion mixture, bacon pieces, 1 1/2 cup Cheddar cheese, and green chile peppers in the bottom of the prepared baking pan. Crack eggs, one at a time, on top. Sprinkle remaining 1/2 cup Cheddar cheese over eggs.

  5. Bake in the preheated oven until eggs are firm and cheese starts to brown, 20 to 30 minutes. Serve with flour tortillas.

Cook's Notes:

Substitute green chile sauce for the chopped green chile peppers if desired.

If desired, you can add well browned and drained Mexican chorizo sausage to this dish. Just toss in with the hash brown mixture.
