Ingredients

  • 8 ounces tortilla chips
  • 2 large eggs
  • 1 cup salsa (red or green, your choice)
  • 1/2 cup crumbled feta cheese
  • 1/4 cup fresh cilantro, chopped
  • 2 tablespoons olive oil
  • Salt and pepper, to taste

How to Make Chilaquiles with Fried Egg

  1. In a large skillet, heat 1 tablespoon of olive oil over medium heat. Add the tortilla chips, spreading them out in an even layer.
  2. Pour the salsa over the chips, gently tossing to coat them without breaking them. Allow to cook for about 3-5 minutes, until the chips are slightly softened but still crispy.
  3. While the chips are cooking, in a separate pan, heat the remaining tablespoon of olive oil over medium heat. Crack the eggs into the pan and cook until the whites are set and the yolks are still runny, about 2-3 minutes. Season with salt and pepper.
  4. Once the chips are ready, remove the skillet from heat. Transfer the chilaquiles to serving plates.
  5. Top each plate with a fried egg and sprinkle with crumbled feta cheese and chopped cilantro.
  6. Serve immediately, enjoying the combination of textures and flavors!

Tips for the Best Results

  • Opt for sturdy tortilla chips to hold up against the salsa.
  • For extra flavor, use homemade salsa or a store-bought variety you love.
  • If you prefer a firmer yolk, cook the eggs longer or cover the pan to steam them slightly.

Easy Variations

  • Swap out feta cheese for queso fresco or shredded cheese for a different flavor profile.
  • Add cooked chorizo or shredded chicken for added protein.
  • Toss in sliced avocado or a dollop of sour cream for creaminess.

What to Serve With It

  • Fresh fruit salad for a refreshing side.
  • A light green salad with lemon vinaigrette.
  • Mexican-style corn on the cob for a fun pairing.

Storage and Reheating

Chilaquiles are best enjoyed fresh but can be stored in an airtight container in the fridge for up to 2 days. To reheat, place in a skillet over low heat, adding a splash of water to help revive the chips. Fry a fresh egg to top them off just before serving.
