Chilaquiles Ingredients

Method

Chilaquiles Directions

  1. 1

    Prepare the Tortillas

    Cut the corn tortillas into quarters to create tortilla chips. Heat the vegetable oil in a large skillet over medium heat.

  2. 2

    Fry the Tortilla Chips

    Once the oil is hot, add the tortilla pieces in batches, frying until they are golden and crispy, about 2-3 minutes per batch. Remove and drain on paper towels. Season with salt and pepper.

  3. 3

    Warm the Ranchero Sauce

    In a separate saucepan, gently heat the ranchero sauce over low heat until warm, stirring occasionally.

  4. 4

    Prepare the Black Beans

    In a small saucepan, heat the black beans over medium heat until warmed through. Season with salt and pepper to taste.

  5. 5

    Cook the Eggs

    In another skillet, cook the eggs to your liking (scrambled, sunny-side-up, or over-easy) using a bit of oil if necessary.

  6. 6

    Assemble the Chilaquiles

    On a large plate, layer the crispy tortilla chips, followed by the shredded chicken, warmed ranchero sauce, and black beans.

  7. 7

    Garnish

    Top with the cooked eggs, sliced avocado, crumbled queso fresco, and pico de gallo. Serve immediately.
