Hot TexMess

• Neutral Oil (peanut, Canola, Vegetable) For Frying
• 12 whole Corn Tortillas, Stacked And Cut Into 1-1/2" Squares
• 2 cups Leftover Pulled Or Chopped Pork Or Chicken
• 4 cups Smoky Chipotle And Tomatillo Salsa (I Used Homemade, But Use Whatever Your Favorite Is.)
• Hot Cooked Rice (optional)
• 2 cups Refried Beans, Heated
• 4 whole Eggs, Fried In Butter
• 1 cup Crumbled Feta Or Cojita Cheese (You Can Substitute Shredded Monterey Jack If Desired)
• 1/2 whole Sweet Onion, Peeled And Finely Diced
• Chopped Fresh Cilantro
• Sour Cream Or Greek Yogurt (see My Recipe Box For How To Make Your Own)
• 1 whole Ripe Avocado, Halved, Scooped From The Shells And Sliced
• Candied Jalapenos (see My Recipe Box For How To Make Your Own) Or Jarred Jalapenos
• Lime Wedges

1. Heat 2-inches of oil to 350 degrees F in a heavy bottomed skillet over medium high heat.
2. If you dont have a deep-frying thermometer, you can tell the oil has reached the proper temperature when it looks streaky in the pan and a piece of tortilla dropped into it forms many bubbles around the edges immediately.
3. Fry the corn tortillas in batches, stirring frequently, until golden brown and crisp.
4. This should take between 3 and 5 minutes.
5. Use a slotted spoon to transfer the chips to a paper towel lined plate.
6. Sprinkle lightly with salt and set aside.
7. In a heavy-bottomed skillet over medium heat, stir together the pulled pork (or chicken) and the salsa and bring to a simmer.
8. When it reaches a simmer, gently toss in the fried tortillas.
9. Allow to simmer for about 2-3 minutes, or just until the tortillas begin to soften a little.
10. Remove from the heat.
11. Lay out four (or six) serving plates.
12. If youre using the rice, mound a scoop of rice into the center and press down in the middle to make a well.
13. Divide the refried beans between the plates and then divide the simmered tortillas and meat between the plates.
14. Top each serving with a fried egg, cheese, onion, chopped cilantro, sour cream, and finally the avocado slices.
15. Serve with my candied jalapenos (see my TastyKitchen recipe box) or jalapeno slices and lime wedges to squeeze over the top.
16. Dig.
