Ingredients Method Notes

Ingredients
  

  • 16 oz Salsa Verde jarred or fresh
  • 2 cloves Garlic smashed or grated
  • 1 Lime half juiced, half cut into wedges for serving
  • 10 oz Tortilla Chips
  • 4 Eggs
  • 1 oz Cotija Cheese
  • ¾ cup Cilantro roughly chopped
  • ¼ cup Radish sliced
  • 1 Jalapeno fresh or pickled, and sliced

Method
 

  1. Heat a large skillet over medium heat & add your salsa.
  2. Cook the salsa for a minute until it begins to bubble gently then add the garlic and cook for another minute. Add the lime juice and stir to combine.
  3. Next, add the tortilla chips and toss to coat completely in the salsa.
  4. Keep cooking the chips until they have absorbed most of the salsa and begin to soften.
  5. Then, in a separate skillet, fry up your eggs to your liking (you can also do this with scrambled eggs).
  6. Remove the chips and salsa from the heat and top with the fried eggs.
  7. Finish the Chilaquiles with cheese, cilantro, radish and jalapeno. Serve immediately.

Notes

This dish can be made even better by making your own tortilla chips. Cut 6-8 tortillas into triangles & lightly fry in vegetable oil until crisp. Drain the chips on a paper towel lined plate and season immediately with salt.
