Servings: 2 people
Equipment
Ingredients
- 8 corn tortillas I used a corn/wheat blend
- 1/2 cup oil for frying (I used avocado oil)
- 1/2 teaspoon kosher salt
- 1 cup red enchilada sauce
- 4 whole eggs for frying
garnish:
- queso fresco
- Crema Mexicana or creme fraiche
- fresh Cilantro minced chopped
- Chopped red onion
Instructions
- Stack 8 corn tortillas and cut each into 8 small wedges. Over medium high heat, heat 1/2 cup oil in large skillet. When the oil hot, add the tortillas, working in small batches to not over crowd pan. Fry, turning as needed, until golden brown.
- Remove tortillas to a paper towel lined plate to soak up excess oil. Sprinkle 1/2 teaspoon kosher salt on the tortillas.
- Remove most of the oil from pan (discard or save for another use). Add 1 cup red enchilada sauce and cook for several minutes until heated through.
- Meanwhile, heat a separate nonstick skillet over medium heat and fry the 4 whole eggs, turning only once.
- Add fried tortilla wedges to the enchilada sauce. Turn to coat and let cook for a few minutes until heated thru.
- Remove from heat. Serve chilaquiles with fried eggs and topped with garnishes (queso fresco, Crema Mexicana or creme fraiche, fresh Cilantro, and Chopped red onion).
