- Raise heat of sauce to medium-high and bring to a boil about 3 minutes. Add tortilla chips, a handful at a time, folding gently to coat every chip before adding more.

- Top with queso fresco, radishes, cilantro, and hot sauce. Serve immediately.
Notes
- *Makes 1 12” skillet
- For a crispier texture, remove sauce from heat, add chips and gently toss together until fully and evenly coated. Top with eggs and desired toppings. Serve.
- Make and Freeze Ahead: Chilaquiles should be made fresh overall, but the red sauce can be made ahead of time and stored in an airtight container, in the refrigerator for up to 5 days or in the freezer for up to 3 months.
- When ready to serve, thaw sauce completely, in the refrigerator, before reheating and simmering or tossing with chips.
