Chilaquiles

Method

Preparation

  1. 1

    Prepare the Tortillas

    Cut the corn tortillas into quarters. Heat the vegetable oil in a large skillet over medium heat. Once hot, add the tortilla pieces in batches and fry until crispy, about 2-3 minutes. Remove and drain on paper towels.

  2. 2

    Make the Chilaquiles

    In the same skillet, add the red salsa and cook for 2-3 minutes. Then, add the crispy tortilla pieces to the skillet and toss to coat them evenly with the salsa. Cook for an additional 2-3 minutes until heated through.

  3. 3

    Prepare the Eggs

    In a separate pan, scramble or fry the eggs to your preference. Season with salt.

  4. 4

    Assemble the Dish

    Serve the chilaquiles on plates, topped with scrambled or fried eggs. Sprinkle with feta cheese, diced avocado, and fresh cilantro. Enjoy!
