Recipe Information
Ingredients
- 6 pieces corn tortillas
- 1 cup vegetable oil
- 4 pieces eggs
- 2 cups red salsa (store-bought or homemade)
- 1 teaspoon salt
- 0.5 cup crumbled queso fresco or Cotija cheese
- 0.5 cup sour cream or Mexican crema
- 0.25 cup cilantro leaves, chopped
- 0.25 cup onion, finely sliced
- 1 piece avocado, sliced (optional)
- 0.5 cup black beans or refried beans (optional, for serving)
Instructions
Cut the corn tortillas into quarters or strips, depending on your preference.
In a large skillet, heat the vegetable oil over medium-high heat. Once hot, fry the tortilla pieces in batches until they are golden and crispy, about 1-2 minutes per side. Remove them and drain on a paper towel-lined plate. Sprinkle lightly with salt.
In the same skillet, carefully remove any excess oil, leaving about 1 tablespoon.
Lower the heat to medium, add the red salsa to the skillet, and simmer for 2-3 minutes to warm and slightly reduce the salsa.
Add the crispy tortilla pieces to the salsa, gently stirring to coat them evenly. Remove the skillet from heat to avoid over-soaking the tortillas; they should still have some texture.
In a separate pan, heat a small amount of oil over medium heat and cook the eggs to your liking (sunny side up, over easy, or scrambled). Season with a pinch of salt.
To assemble, divide the chilaquiles among plates. Top each portion with a cooked egg.
Garnish with crumbled queso fresco or Cotija cheese, dollops of sour cream or crema, chopped cilantro, and sliced onion.
If desired, serve with sliced avocado and a side of black beans or refried beans.
Serve immediately and enjoy your Huevos Y Chilaquiles!
