Notes
- Tips:If you prefer crispy chilaquiles, instead of adding the chips to the sauce, place some tortilla chips on the serving plate, then pour some sauce over the chips before adding eggs and cream.
- Storage:These are best eaten immediately or they will get soggier. You may wish to store the sauce in the refrigerator, then reheat it when ready to serve over the chips.
