How to Make Jen S Chilaquiles

  1. Heat 2 tablespoons olive oil in a large skillet over medium heat.
  2. Test the oil by adding a small piece of tortilla; it's ready when it bubbles immediately.
  3. Fry 6-8 corn tortillas at a time until crisp and golden brown (about 1-2 minutes per side). Remove and drain on paper towels.
  4. Drain excess oil from the skillet, leaving about 1 tablespoon in the pan.
  5. Add 1 (15-ounce) can El Pato Mexican hot style tomato sauce (or your favorite salsa) to the skillet and stir until warmed through.
  6. Add the fried tortillas to the sauce and gently toss to coat.
  7. Season with salt to taste.
  8. Sprinkle 1 cup shredded Mexican cheese (Monterey Jack, cheddar, or a blend) over the chilaquiles.
  9. Remove from heat and cover for 1-2 minutes to allow the cheese to melt.
  10. Top with 1/4 cup finely chopped white onion and 1/4 cup chopped fresh cilantro.
  11. Serve immediately with eggs (prepared to your liking), refried beans, breakfast potatoes, or any other desired toppings.
