Chilaquiles Scramble - cooking recipe

Ingredients
    2 tablespoons olive oil, divided, or to taste
    1 small onion, finely chopped
    1 jalapeno pepper, finely chopped
    1 small tomato, diced
    2 cloves garlic, minced
    1/2 cup salsa verde (green salsa)
    1/2 teaspoon ground cumin
    salt and ground black pepper to taste
    3 cups tortilla chips
    5 eggs
    1/2 cup crumbled Cotija cheese
    1 avocado, sliced
    1/4 cup chopped fresh cilantro
    2 tablespoons sour cream, or to taste
Preparation
    Heat 1 tablespoon olive oil in a saute pan over medium-high heat. Add onion and jalapeno. Cook, stirring occasionally, until onion appears translucent, about 4 minutes. Add tomato and garlic; cook and stir for 1 minute. Add salsa and scrape any browned bits off the bottom of the pan. Season with cumin, salt, and pepper. Reduce heat and simmer for 2 minutes. Add tortilla chips to the pan and stir until coated with sauce.
    Heat remaining oil in a separate pan over medium-high heat. Whisk eggs together and pour into the hot pan; cook until starting to set, about 2 minutes. Scrape cooked egg off the edges and fold into the center. Cook until eggs are halfway cooked but still runny, 2 to 3 minutes more. Fold into the tortilla chip mixture. Keep stirring to finish scrambling the eggs, about 2 minutes. Add Cotija cheese and turn off heat.
    Divide egg mixture onto plates. Garnish with avocado, cilantro, and sour cream.
