How to Make Chilaquiles

  1. Preheat oven to 350°F (175°C).
  2. Cut 6 corn tortillas into bite-sized pieces or strips.
  3. Toss tortilla pieces with 1 tablespoon olive oil and a pinch of salt. Spread in a single layer on a baking sheet.
  4. Bake for 8-10 minutes, flipping halfway through, until golden brown and crispy.
  5. While tortillas bake, prepare the sauce: Roughly chop 1 medium tomato and remove stem and seeds from 1 jalapeño pepper. Mince the jalapeño.
  6. Heat 1 tablespoon olive oil in a medium skillet over medium heat. Add minced jalapeño and cook for 30 seconds until fragrant.
  7. Add chopped tomato to the skillet and cook for 2-3 minutes until softened.
  8. In a bowl, whisk together 2 large eggs with a pinch of salt and pepper.
  9. Pour the egg mixture into the skillet with the tomato and jalapeño. Cook, stirring occasionally, until eggs are set.
  10. Add the crispy tortilla chips to the skillet and gently toss to combine with the egg and tomato mixture.
  11. Serve immediately, topped with 2 tablespoons sour cream and 1/4 cup shredded Monterey Jack cheese.
