Chilaquiles Ingredients

Method

Cooking Instructions

  1. 1

    Prepare the Tortillas

    Cut the corn tortillas into quarters. Heat the vegetable oil in a large skillet over medium heat. Fry the tortilla pieces until they are golden and crispy, about 2-3 minutes. Remove and drain on paper towels.

  2. 2

    Make the Base

    In the same skillet, add the refried beans and warm them through. Season with salt to taste. Once heated, layer the crispy tortillas over the beans.

  3. 3

    Add Toppings

    Pour the chipotle red sauce over the tortillas and beans, then sprinkle the queso fresco on top. Allow it to melt slightly.

  4. 4

    Cook the Eggs

    In a separate pan, fry the eggs to your desired doneness. Season with salt.

  5. 5

    Assemble the Chilaquiles

    Once the cheese has melted, remove the skillet from heat. Top the dish with pico de gallo, fresh cilantro, and the fried eggs. Add the choice of meat or veggie option on the side.

  6. 6

    Serve

    Serve the chilaquiles hot, garnished with additional cilantro if desired.
