I don’t like chip crumbs. I always try to pick out the intact chips from the bag. This means I am often left with a bag full of chip crumbs and nothing to do with them.
Okay, that’s not true. I make Chili Killers with them!
Chili Killers or Chilaquilles = eggs cooked with tortillas or tortilla chips.
I cooked up some onion and chips in a sprayed pan. Then, added salsa, eggs and cheese.
It’s Killer good
Served with beans and hot sauce. This is one of my Mexican Meatless favorites!
Vegas wishes he had chili killers…
I served it with a salad for some veggie power!
My afternoon snack is a cantaloupe filled with cottage cheese. I remember my mom eating pineapple and cottage cheese when I was a kid. Now I’m all grow’d up like my mom, eating her faves
I’m trying to upload the latest Ask a Monican. It’ll be up tonight!

I always give the bag of chips over to my husband whenever all the giant pieces are gone. He just dumps them in his mouth. I like chips with dip, so I have no use for crumbs!
Taylor says
We would be excellent chip bag buddies because I LOVE chip crumbs and alays dig to the bottom to get the salty crumbs.

I’ve always thought we were food twins – added bonus if we compliment each other with chips too! PS – I’m drinking hot cocoa right now 🙂
Taylor says
We are definitely food twins. And I’m so glad you think of me when you
drink hot cocoa. PS – I’m eating ice cream out of the container right now
which I know you’d approve of. ha

I just pour the chip crumbs into my mouth, but that’s a groovy idea, too! I had crushed pretzels once, and I used it to make peanut-butter-pretzel meatballs. 🙂
runeatrepeat says
I die. I have to make those now 🙂
Sarah says
I love chip crumbs! I will dig to the bottom of the bag to get them. We would make a good chip-eating team…although, with that recipe, you may not want to share your chip crumbs.
Courtney says
I love this idea! I, at any given time, have no less than 3 bags of tortilla chip crumbs in my cabinet. You cant get the right amount of salsa on the crumbs! Totally going to make this for breakfast tomorrow if I have a snow day!
runeatrepeat says
If you really have that many crumbs, do my other trick too = I pour them into a half empty hummus container, stir and eat!
Katy (The Singing Runner) says
Hmmm sounds interesting… and by interesting I mean good. 😀
lynn @ the actor's diet says
great idea with the chips! i always have crumbs i can’t bear to just throw out.
ashleigh says
eggs, chips and cheese? that pretty much sounds like my dream meal!
Jessi @ Quirky Cookery says
I’ve never heard it called Chili Killers before, so that makes me want to make them even more. Like….right now. If only I had some chips already here…. darn. 🙁
janetha @ meals and moves says
i looooooooooooove chilaquilles <–cant spell. however, your cottage cheese in a fruit bowl made me wanna barf. it all balances out.
runeatrepeat says
Hey! It’s all part of my more protein effort! Gimme credit 🙂
Katie says
Yum! Looks amazing with those chips! I love Archer Farms products from target, they have some yummy stuff!
Steph says
I actually used the crumbs of those exact chips as a salad topper the other day.
Paula @ Eat, Watch, Run says
Well, now I’m going to have to do that with every bag of chips. This is a much better option than trying to use the bag as a funnel to get the remaining chips in my mouth only to have them land all over my face.
Lauren says
LOVE this recipe!! I’ve done it before but not with the crumbs. Great idea!
Kate (What Kate is Cooking) says
That’s a good idea- much better than my usual method of emptying the bag directly into my mouth 🙂
Kristy @ KristyRuns says
Why haven’t I used a cantaloupe as a bowl before??? Perfect to put smoothies in!
runeatrepeat says
I’ve totally done that with green monsters. Such a colorful bowl 🙂
Beth @ Beth's Journey to Thin says
What a great idea for the chips at the bottom of the bag! I never think to use them in an egg scramble – what a perfect idea.
Rose says
Chips with eggs? That’s crazy talk!
Okay, if you take away the onions and the cheese it sounds pretty darn delicious.
