Chips

Salsa Verde

Toppings

Method

Chips

  1. 1

    Fry the Tortilla Chips

    Cut corn tortillas into triangles. In a large frying pan, heat vegetable oil over medium heat. Add the tortilla pieces in batches and fry until they are golden brown and crispy, about 3-4 minutes. Remove and drain on paper towels, and set aside.

Salsa Verde

  1. 2

    Prepare the Salsa Verde

    In a pot of boiling water, add the tomatillos and jalapeño pepper. Boil for about 5 minutes until softened. Drain and transfer to a blender. Add the chopped onion, cilantro, and lime juice. Blend until smooth. Adjust seasoning with salt if needed.

Assembly

  1. 3

    Combine Chips and Salsa

    In a large skillet over medium heat, add the fried tortilla chips and pour the salsa verde over them. Toss gently to coat the chips with the salsa and cook for another 2-3 minutes until everything is heated through.

  2. 4

    Prepare the Toppings

    In a separate pan, cook the eggs to your liking (scrambled, poached, or fried). Set aside.

  3. 5

    Serve the Chilaquiles

    On a serving plate, place the salsa-coated tortilla chips. Top with Monterey Jack cheese, sour cream, diced small onion, chopped cilantro, and place the cooked eggs on top. Serve immediately.
