Ingredients
- 8 oz tortilla chips
- 4 large eggs
- 1 cup salsa (your choice of mild, medium, or hot)
- 1/2 cup sour cream
- 1/4 cup green onions, sliced
- 1/4 cup fresh cilantro, chopped
- Salt and pepper, to taste
- Cooking oil (for frying eggs)
How to Make Chilaquiles with Fried Egg
- Start by heating the salsa in a medium saucepan over medium heat, stirring occasionally until warmed through, about 5 minutes.
- While the salsa is heating, heat a non-stick skillet over medium heat and add a tablespoon of cooking oil.
- Crack the eggs into the skillet, cooking them sunny-side up or to your desired doneness. Season with salt and pepper. Cook for about 3-4 minutes until the whites are set but the yolks remain runny.
- On four plates, layer the tortilla chips evenly. Spoon the warm salsa over the chips, allowing them to soak slightly without becoming too soggy.
- Top each plate with a fried egg, followed by a dollop of sour cream.
- Sprinkle the sliced green onions and chopped cilantro over the top as a fresh garnish.
- Serve immediately and enjoy your quick breakfast!
Tips for the Best Results
- For extra crunch, you can bake your tortilla chips in the oven at 350°F for about 10 minutes before assembling.
- Use homemade salsa for an added flavor boost, or choose a store-bought variety that you love.
- Experiment with different types of eggs; poached or scrambled also work beautifully.
Easy Variations
- Add diced avocado or jalapeños for an extra kick.
- Substitute the salsa with green enchilada sauce for a different flavor profile.
- Incorporate black beans or shredded chicken for added protein.
What to Serve With It
- Fresh fruit salad for a refreshing side.
- A light green salad to balance the richness.
- A hot cup of coffee or fresh juice to complete your breakfast experience.
Storage and Reheating
Chilaquiles are best enjoyed fresh, but if you have leftovers, store them in an airtight container in the refrigerator for up to 2 days. Reheat in a skillet over medium heat, adding a splash of water to help steam the chips slightly, keeping them from getting too hard.
