1. Preheat broiler.
2. Place tomatoes, poblanos and jalapeno on a baking sheet. Broil until browned all over and blackened in spots. Place poblanos and jalapeño in a plastic bag to steam as they cool. When cool enough to handle, chop tomatoes and their charred skin. Peel poblanos and jalapeño. Slice chiles open and remove seeds and veins. Slice poblanos into thin strips; mince jalapeño.
3. Combine eggs, water and salt; whisk.
4. Heat oil in a large skillet over medium heat. Add onion; sauté until tender. Stir in tomatoes, chiles and their juices. Cook until thoroughly heated and liquid evaporates. Pour in egg mixture, stirring from the bottom. When eggs are nearly done, add chips. Stir and cook until done. Remove from heat and stir in cheese and cilantro, if using. Serves 4.
