Ingredients
  

Chilaquiles

  • 0.5 pounds tortilla chips
  • 2 cups salsa verde store-bought or homemade
  • 1 vegetable oil for drizzling

Preparation Steps

  • Preheat your oven to 350°F (175°C).
  • Spread the tortilla chips in a single layer on a baking sheet.
  • Warm the salsa verde in a saucepan over medium heat.
  • Pour the warm salsa verde over the tortilla chips, ensuring they are evenly coated.
  • Bake for 10-15 minutes, or until the chips are softened but still hold their shape.
  • While the chilaquiles are baking, prepare your toppings: fry or scramble the eggs, crumble the queso fresco, slice the red onion and avocado, and chop the cilantro.
  • Serve the chilaquiles immediately, topped with eggs, queso fresco, red onion, cilantro, avocado, and a drizzle of crema mexicana if desired.

Notes

Adjust the amount of salsa to your preference. For a spicier dish, use a spicier salsa or add some hot sauce.
