Chickichanga First Watch Recipe

Chickichanga First Watch Recipe

I make this crispy, cheesy Chickichanga whenever I'm craving the bold First Watch flavors at home. It’s stuffed with eggs, Cajun chicken, chorizo, chilies, and melty cheese, then topped with pico, hollandaise, sour cream, and avocado. It tastes cozy, spicy, and totally brunch-perfect.

Method
 

Step 1
  1. I heat a little butter in a nonstick pan over medium heat, then place one tortilla inside. I let it brown lightly so it gets soft and flexible.

Step 2
  1. I pour the whipped eggs right over the tortilla and cook until the eggs set and cling to the tortilla.

Notes

I usually make extra filling so I can assemble another Chickichanga later in the week. They reheat great in the oven at 350°F for about 10 minutes.
