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)

Directions

Step 1

Cut the corn tortillas into quarters or strips, depending on your preference.

Step 2

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.

Step 3

In the same skillet, carefully remove any excess oil, leaving about 1 tablespoon.

Step 4

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.

Step 5

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.

Step 6

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.

Step 7

To assemble, divide the chilaquiles among plates. Top each portion with a cooked egg.

Step 8

Garnish with crumbled queso fresco or Cotija cheese, dollops of sour cream or crema, chopped cilantro, and sliced onion.

Step 9

If desired, serve with sliced avocado and a side of black beans or refried beans.

Step 10

Serve immediately and enjoy your Huevos Y Chilaquiles!
