Dry out tortillas 8 hours
Total Time 8 hours 45 minutes
Servings 1 Serving

Ingredients

  • 6 previously made corn tortillas
  • Oil for frying chips
  • 2 cups Salsa Verde or Roja of your choice link in the notes
  • ¼ c onion finely diced
  • ¼ c cilantro finely chopped
  • 1/3 c cotija cheese finely grated
  • 1/3 c Mexican crema
  • 2 eggs cooked as you like

Instructions

  • The night before, slice homemade corn tortillas into 6 wedges. Spread out and let air dry overnight. This will help them fry faster and absorb less oil.
  • Next day, preheat 1 ½ cups of avocado or canola oil in medium skillet for a few minutes. When hot, fry sliced corn tortillas until very crispy. Turn now and then to ensure even frying. When ready transfer to a plate lined with paper towels. Set aside.
  • In the meantime, on the back burner, cook your eggs in a little oil at medium heat to desired doneness.
  • Pour out the oil from the skillet and place back onto medium heat. Pour in the salsa of your choice. It may seem like a lot of salsa, but the tortillas will absorb some of the salsa. Stir salsa for 1 minutes, Add the previously fried chips. Stir well to combine, making sure the chips are evenly coated with salsa.
  • Transfer chilaquiles to serving plate. Garnish with onion, cilantro, cotija cheese and crema. Top with sunny side up eggs. Garnish eggs with spicy salsa.
