Chilaquiles Recipe

Cooking Instructions

1. 1

   Prepare the Tortilla Chips

   Heat the olive oil in a large skillet over medium heat. Once hot, add the tortilla chips and fry until golden and crispy, about 3-5 minutes. Remove from heat and place on a paper towel to drain excess oil. Sprinkle with salt and pepper.

2. 2

   Make the Chilaquiles Base

   In the same skillet, add the salsa verde and bring it to a simmer. Add the crispy tortilla chips to the skillet and gently toss to coat the chips with the salsa. Allow to cook for about 2-3 minutes until the chips start to absorb some of the salsa.

3. 3

   Add Chicken and Cheese

   Add the shredded smoked chicken and half of the cheddar cheese to the skillet. Gently mix to combine and allow the cheese to melt slightly, about 1-2 minutes.

4. 4

   Fry the Eggs

   In a separate skillet, heat a little olive oil over medium-high heat. Crack the eggs into the skillet and fry to your desired doneness (sunny-side-up, over-easy, etc.), about 3-4 minutes. Season with salt and pepper.

5. 5

   Assemble the Chilaquiles

   Transfer the chilaquiles mixture onto a serving platter. Top with the fried eggs and sprinkle the remaining cheddar cheese on top. Add pico de gallo and drizzle with cilantro crema.

6. 6

   Serve

   Serve immediately while hot, garnished with additional cilantro if desired.
