Yield
4 Servings
Ingredients
12 corn tortilla
corn oil (for frying)
salt (dash)
pepper (dash)
1 C red chile sauce (or salsa verde)
4 eggs
chopped cilantro (garnish)
Instructions

1) Pour a generous amount of oil in a large sauté pan and heat on medium high to high.
2) When the oil is hot, add the tortilla quarters and fry until golden brown. Remove tortillas to a plate that is lined with paper towels (to soak up excess oil). Sprinkle a little salt on the tortillas, if desired.
3) Once tortillas are removed, add the eggs to the hot pan and let cook until yolk is set (2-3 minutes). Remove egg from pan and set aside.
4) Add 1 tablespoons of oil to pan. Add the salsa to the pan and let cook for 4-5 minutes.
5) Add the fried tortilla quarters to the salsa. Gently turn over the pieces of tortilla until they are all well coated with salsa. Let cook for a few minutes. Remove from heat and serve chilaquiles with cilantro garnish and topped with eggs.
