Cooking Instructions
Follow our step-by-step guide on how to make Guatemalan Chilaquiles.
Step 1
In a food processor, combine the quartered tomato and red onion. Blend until smooth, gradually adding the queso fresco to form a paste.
Step 2
Fold each corn tortilla in half and fill them with the tomato and onion paste mixture.
Step 3
In a bowl, beat the egg whites with an electric mixer until foamy. Gradually add the egg yolks, mixing until well combined.
Step 4
Heat 2 to 3 tablespoons of canola oil in a large skillet over medium heat. Dip each filled tortilla into the egg mixture, ensuring both sides are coated, and let any excess drip off.
Step 5
Carefully place the coated tortillas in the hot oil and cook for about 2 minutes on each side, or until golden brown. Repeat with the remaining tortillas and oil.
