BREAKFAST FAVORITES

  1. 1

    Make green chili sauce

    In a blender or processor, combine roasted Hatch green chilies, onion, garlic, cilantro, lime juice, and salt. Blend until smooth. Transfer to a skillet, add 2 tablespoons vegetable oil, and simmer 5-7 minutes to meld flavors. Taste and adjust salt if needed.

  2. 2

    Prepare tortillas

    Cut the tortillas into wedges (about 6-8 per tortilla). In a wide skillet, heat 3 tablespoons oil over medium heat. Fry the wedges in batches just until they’re lightly crisp on the edges, about 1–2 minutes per side. Drain on paper towels.

  3. 3

    Coat tortillas with green sauce

    In the same skillet used for frying, pour in the green chili sauce. Add the fried tortilla wedges and toss gently to coat. Simmer for about 5–7 minutes, allowing the chips to soften and absorb some sauce without turning mushy.

  4. 4

    Cook eggs

    In a separate nonstick skillet, heat a little oil. Crack in the eggs and cook until the whites are set and the yolks are still runny, cooking to your preferred doneness (over easy is traditional for chilaquiles).

  5. 5

    Assemble and garnish

    To serve, mound saucy chips on plates. Top each portion with an egg, then scatter shredded lettuce and diced tomato. Add a dollop of sour cream and sprinkle crumbled feta on top. Serve immediately, with extra sauce on the side if desired.
