Instructions
Creating Easy Chilaquiles is simple. Just follow these steps for a delicious result:
1. Cut Tortillas: Slice the corn tortillas into quarters to create triangles.
2. Fry Tortillas: In a large skillet, heat oil over medium heat. Fry the tortilla pieces until they are golden and crispy. Remove them and place on a paper towel to absorb excess oil.
3. Add Salsa: In the same skillet, reduce heat and add your salsa of choice. Stir until heated through.
4. Combine Tortillas and Salsa: Gently fold the fried tortilla chips into the heated salsa until they are well-coated.
5. Top with Cheese: Sprinkle the shredded cheese on top of the chilaquiles. Cover the skillet until the cheese melts.
6. Optional Eggs: If you want to add eggs, cook them in a separate pan (scrambled or fried) and place them on top of the chilaquiles.
7. Serve: Transfer your chilaquiles to a serving platter or individual plates. Top with sour cream, avocado slices, and fresh cilantro.
These simple steps ensure that your chilaquiles turn out perfectly every time!
