Preparation Directions

1

Fry Tortillas

Heat vegetable oil in a large skillet over medium heat. Cut the corn tortillas into quarters and fry them until they are crispy. Remove and let them drain on paper towels.

2

Prepare the Sauce

In the same skillet, add the tomato sauce, chili powder, and salt. Stir well and let it simmer for 5 minutes.

3

Combine Tortillas and Sauce

Add the fried tortilla pieces to the skillet with the sauce. Gently toss to coat the tortillas in the sauce and cook for another 2-3 minutes.

4

Serve

Transfer the chilaquiles to a serving dish. Top with fried eggs, cheese, sour cream, and sliced onions. Serve with cooked rice, beans, and a side salad of shredded lettuce and chopped tomato.
