Instructions
Creating delicious chilaquiles is easier than you might think. Follow these steps for a fantastic breakfast:
1. Prepare the Tortillas: Cut the corn tortillas into triangles.
2. Fry the Tortillas: Heat the vegetable oil in a skillet over medium-high heat. Once hot, add the tortilla triangles and fry them until they are crispy and golden brown. This should take about 3-4 minutes. Remove and drain on paper towels.
3. Add Salsa: In a large skillet, pour in the salsa verde or red salsa. Let it simmer over medium heat for about 2-3 minutes, allowing it to warm thoroughly.
4. Combine Chips and Salsa: Add the crispy tortilla triangles to the salsa. Gently stir the chips, making sure they’re coated evenly with the sauce.
5. Add Cheese: Sprinkle shredded cheese over the top. Cover the skillet to allow the cheese to melt for about 2-3 minutes.
6. Prepare Your Toppings: While the cheese is melting, slice your avocado and prepare any additional proteins, such as fried eggs or shredded chicken.
7. Serve Immediately: Once the cheese has melted and the tortillas are softened slightly, remove from heat and transfer to a serving platter.
8. Garnish: Top your chilaquiles with sour cream, sliced avocado, crumbled queso fresco, green onions, and chopped cilantro. Season with salt and pepper to taste.
9. Optional: For extra protein, add a fried egg or any other protein of your choice on top of the chilaquiles.
10. Enjoy: Serve immediately and enjoy this amazing dish with friends or family!
