Equipment
- 1 Non-stick skillet For frying eggs and simmering chilaquiles
Ingredients
- 4 cups Tortilla chips
- 2 cups Salsa verde or roja Store-bought or homemade
- 1/2 cup Chicken broth Optional, for a saucier texture

- 2 tbsp Oil For frying
Instructions
- In a large skillet over medium heat, warm the salsa (and chicken broth if using) until hot.
- Carefully fold in the tortilla chips until they are evenly coated with the salsa. Cook for a few minutes until the chips start to soften.
- Sprinkle shredded cheese over the chilaquiles and cover with a lid, letting the cheese melt for 3-4 minutes.
- Remove from heat and prepare to top with eggs.
- In a separate non-stick skillet, heat oil over medium heat.
- Crack eggs into the skillet, being careful to keep the yolks intact. Season with salt and pepper.
- Cook until the whites are firm but the yolks are still runny, or to your desired level of doneness.
- Place the cooked chilaquiles on plates, top each with a fried egg.
- Garnish with cilantro and dollops of sour cream.
- Serve immediately and enjoy.
Notes
For a lighter version, you can bake the tortilla chips instead of frying them. Adjust the salsa quantity to taste, depending on how dry or saucy you prefer your chilaquiles.
