Recipe Information
Ingredients
- 8 pieces corn tortillas
- 1 cup vegetable oil
- 1 lb tomatillos
- 2 pieces jalapeño peppers
- 2 pieces garlic cloves
- 0.5 piece white onion
- 0.5 cup cilantro
- 1 cup chicken broth
- 1 teaspoon salt
- 0.5 cup queso fresco
- 0.5 cup Mexican crema
- 0.25 cup sliced radishes
- 1 piece avocado
- 4 pieces eggs
Instructions
Preheat the oven to 350°F (175°C). Cut the corn tortillas into sixths to make chip-size wedges.
Heat the vegetable oil in a large frying pan over medium-high heat. Fry the tortilla wedges in batches until crisp and golden brown. Remove and drain on paper towels. Repeat until all tortilla wedges are fried.
For the salsa verde, husk and rinse the tomatillos. Place them in a saucepan with enough water to cover. Add jalapeños, garlic, and bring to a boil. Once boiling, reduce heat and simmer for about 10 minutes, or until tomatillos change color and soften.
Drain the saucepan and transfer tomatillos, jalapeños, and garlic to a blender. Add the onion, cilantro, and chicken broth. Blend until smooth. Season with salt to taste.
In a clean frying pan, add a little oil if needed, and pour in the salsa verde. Allow it to simmer for a few minutes until slightly thickened.
Preheat a small amount of oil in a skillet over medium heat and fry the eggs to your liking (sunny-side up or over easy).
On a large baking dish, layer the tortilla chips evenly. Pour the salsa verde over the chips, ensuring they are well-coated but not too soggy.
Warm the layered chilaquiles in the oven for about 5 minutes, just enough to heat through.
Remove from oven and top with queso fresco, a drizzle of Mexican crema, and garnish with radishes and avocado slices.
Serve immediately, topped with a fried egg per serving, and enjoy the flavors of Mexico in every bite!
