Cooking Instructions

  1. 1

    Prepare the Red Sauce

    If you are using homemade salsa roja, prepare it in advance. If using store-bought, you can skip this step.

  2. 2

    Fry the Eggs

    In a skillet, heat a little oil over medium heat. Crack the eggs into the skillet and cook until the whites are set and the yolks are still runny, or to your preferred doneness. Remove from heat.

  3. 3

    Warm the Tortilla Chips

    In a large serving dish, place the tortilla chips. Pour the red sauce evenly over the chips, ensuring they are well-coated.

  4. 4

    Assemble the Chilaquiles

    Carefully place the fried eggs on top of the sauced tortilla chips. Drizzle with crema mexicana and sprinkle with fresh cilantro.

  5. 5

    Serve with Sides

    Serve the chilaquiles with guacamole, black beans, and pico de gallo on the side.
