Shopping List
Exactly what to grab at the store — whole units, no guessing at "half an onion."
- Tortilla chips
- 1 can red or green enchilada sauce
- 4 eggs
- 1/2 cup shredded cheese
- Onion
- Chips & salsa, side
How to Make It
- Warm the sauce in a skillet.
- Add tortilla chips, toss to coat, cook 2–3 minutes until slightly softened but not mushy.
- Top with cheese, cover briefly to melt.
- Fry eggs separately; top the chilaquiles with fried eggs and onion.
- Serve with chips & salsa on the side.
No-Time-For-That Tip: Toss, don't stir, and pull it off the heat the second the chips are coated — a minute too long is soup.
Swap It: Shredded rotisserie chicken stirred in makes this a full dinner instead of a breakfast plate.
