Ingredients:
2 tablespoons olive oil
½ white onion, chopped
1 zucchini, chopped
1 small can green chilies
16 ounces green chili enchilada sauce (we like Frontera)
1 bunch kale
4 eggs
refried beans
corn tortillas
2 cups shredded Cheddar cheese
Instructions:
Step 1:
In a 9-inch skillet, heat about 2 tablespoons of olive oil over medium heat.
Add the onion and zucchini with a pinch of salt.
After about 5 minutes, once they’ve softened a bit, add the green chilies.
Let that mixture simmer together for another few minutes.
Then add the green chili enchilada sauce and kale and cook for another 2 minutes or so.
Step 2:
Once the kale is just slightly wilted, make 4 small wells in the pan.
Crack the eggs into the wells and cover the pan.
Let the eggs cook for about 5 minutes, just until the whites are cooked through.
Step 3:
Serve with refried beans and warm corn tortillas.
