Ingredients
Green Chilaquiles
- 16 corn tortillas, cut into wedges
- neutral oil, for frying
- 2 cups salsa verde, store bought or homemade
- salt and pepper, to taste
Toppings
- 2-4 fried eggs
- 1 avocado, diced
- 1/2 cup chopped cilantro
- 1/4 cup crumbled cotija
- 1/4 cup Mexican crema
Instructions
- Make the salsa verde. If you're making homemade salsa verde, follow the instructions on the ingredient link to make your own.
- Fry the tortillas. Heat a thin layer of oil in a nonstick skillet over medium heat. Fry the tortilla wedges in batches until crispy on both sides. Transfer the crispy tortillas to a paper towel lined plate and season with salt. Add oil as necessary as you fry the rest of the chips. After the chips are fried, remove all but 1 tablespoon of oil from the skillet.
- Cook the salsa. Add the green salsa verde to the skillet (careful, it'll splatter a little!) and cook over medium heat for 4-5 minutes until darkened in color.
- Add the crispy tortillas. Toss to coat. Cook for 2-3 minutes until the chips have softened slightly but aren't soggy. Top as desired and serve immediately.
