Southwestern Wok Dinner

My one pan is a wok! This could be made in a frying pan, but I like to use the wok so that I can push things up the sides to keep warm as I go without over-cooking. This dish is gluten-free and is great for a group with different spice preferences. Diners can adjust the spiciness of their serving by their choices of salsa zest. Serve right from the wok and wait for your diners' complements. This makes 2 generous complete dinner portions. If you add some refried beans, rice, or a salad you can stretch it to 4 servings.

Ingredients:

  • 4 tablespoons salted butter, divided
  • 1/2 teaspoon cumin
  • 8 6-inch corn tortillas
  • 3 large eggs
  • 1 jalapeno pepper finely chopped or shredded without seeds (optional depending on taste)
  • 1 12.5-oz. can chicken
  • 10-oz. can tomatoes with chilies, drained
  • 1/2 teaspoon chili powder
  • black olives
  • green onions
  • cilantro
  • 1-2 cups shredded cheddar cheese

for serving: salsa, sour cream, hot sauce
