Cooking Instructions
Follow our step-by-step guide on how to make Chilaquiles with Spicy Salsa.
Step 1
Start by grabbing a saucepan and tossing in your chopped tomatoes, dried chile de arbol peppers, sliced onion, minced garlic, chicken bouillon granules, and a pinch of salt.
Step 2
Pour in enough water to cover all those vibrant ingredients.
Step 3
Bring the mixture to a lively boil, then lower the heat and let it simmer gently.
Step 4
Stir occasionally and watch as the tomatoes and peppers soften beautifully, which should take about 5 to 10 minutes.
Step 5
Once they’re tender, use a slotted spoon to scoop out the softened chile peppers and transfer them to a blender.
Step 6
Blend them until they’re silky smooth, then add the tomato mixture and blend again until everything is perfectly combined and creamy.
Step 7
Next, heat up some vegetable oil in a large skillet over medium heat.
Step 8
Toss in your tortilla strips and cook them, stirring frequently, until they turn golden and crispy—this should take around 3 to 5 minutes.
Step 9
Now, crack a few eggs right into the skillet and stir them around until they’re scrambled and set, which will take about 5 minutes.
Step 10
Once your eggs are fluffy and your tortilla strips are crispy, it’s time to bring it all together.
Step 11
Strain the luscious blended salsa over the crispy tortilla strips and scrambled eggs in the skillet.
Step 12
Give everything a good mix until it’s well combined, and you’ll have a delicious dish that’s bursting with flavor.
Step 13
Enjoy your creation, and savor the delightful blend of textures and tastes!.
