Chilaquiles Verdes

🟡 Medium

Ingredients

  • 8 corn tortillas, cut into strips
  • 2 cups green salsa (salsa verde)
  • 4 eggs
  • 1/2 cup Mexican crema or sour cream
  • 1 cup shredded Oaxaca or mozzarella cheese
  • 1 avocado, sliced
  • 1/4 cup diced white onion
  • 2 tablespoons fresh cilantro
  • Oil for frying vegetable oil

Instructions

  1. 1
    Heat oil in a large skillet over medium-high heat and fry tortilla strips until golden and crispy, about 3-4 minutes. Drain on paper towels.
  2. 2
    Pour out excess oil, leaving about 2 tablespoons in the skillet. Add the green salsa and bring to a simmer.
  3. 3
    Add the fried tortilla strips to the salsa and stir gently to coat evenly. Cook for 2-3 minutes until the tortillas soften slightly but retain some crunch.
  4. 4
    Push the chilaquiles to the sides of the skillet and crack the eggs into the center. Scramble or fry them as preferred, mixing with the chilaquiles just before serving.
  5. 5
    Transfer to a serving plate and top with crema, cheese, avocado slices, diced onion, and fresh cilantro.
  6. 6
    Serve immediately while warm and the tortillas still have texture.
