Cooking Instructions
Follow our step-by-step guide on how to make Delicious Chilaquiles with Eggs and Cheese.
Step 1
Start by heating a generous amount of oil in a large, heavy skillet over medium-high heat until it reaches a sizzling 350°F (175°C).
Step 2
Once the oil is hot and ready, carefully toss in your torn tortilla strips and chopped onion.
Step 3
Fry them together, stirring frequently, until the tortillas turn a delightful crisp and golden brown.
Step 4
When they’re perfectly cooked, use a slotted spoon to transfer them to a plate lined with paper towels, allowing any excess oil to drain away.
Step 5
Next, drain the skillet, but leave just a thin layer of oil behind to keep things flavorful.
Step 6
Return the crispy tortilla and onion mixture to the skillet, creating a delicious base for the next steps.
Step 7
Now, pour in your beaten eggs and sprinkle a pinch of salt over the top.
Step 8
Gently stir everything together as the eggs cook, ensuring they become firm and fully set.
Step 9
Once the eggs are just right, stir in some zesty Mexican-style hot tomato sauce along with a splash of water.
Step 10
Lower the heat and let this simmer for about 10 minutes, allowing the sauce to thicken and infuse all those wonderful flavors.
Step 11
To finish off this mouthwatering dish, sprinkle a generous amount of shredded Monterey Jack cheese over the top.
Step 12
Keep cooking until the cheese melts into a gooey, delicious layer that brings everything together.
Step 13
Enjoy your creation, and savor the delightful blend of textures and flavors!.
