Chilaquiles Verdes
While delicious any time of day, chilaquiles is traditionally enjoyed at breakfast or brunch. Whether you decide to serve it with refried beans or top it with a sunny side up egg, just don’t forget the strong coffee.

Ingredients
- 15 white corn tortillas
- 1 cup canola oil (for frying)
- salt (to taste)
- 1 medium onion (thinly sliced)
- salsa verde (homemade or storebought )
- queso fresco (crumbled, to garnish)
- cilantro to garnish, minced
- onion to garnish, minced
- egg optional, to serve, fried
Instructions
- Cut tortillas into small squares or triangles. Heat oil in a deep skillet over medium-high heat and fry tortillas pieces until crispy, about 2-3 minutes. Strain fried tortillas from the pot on to a plate lined with paper towel. Season fried tortillas with salt to taste; set aside.
- Add sliced onions to the hot pan along with the reserved fried tortillas. Fry an additional 5-6 minutes or until onions are softened. Stir in around 3 cups of salsa or enough to completely soak the tortillas. Saute for an additional five minutes then remove from the heat.
- You may wish to add more salsa as it cooks – the goal is to keep the tortillas drenched. Garnish pan with crumbled cheese, minced cilantro and onion. Serve with eggs if you wish.

Notes
- While I like to use salsa verde (or green salsa), this dish is just as delicious when made with salsa rojo (red salsa).
