Ingredients

Main Ingredients

8 pieces corn tortillas cut into triangles
1 cup vegetable oil
1 cup red enchilada sauce
4 large eggs
1 cup shredded cheese
1/2 cup sliced red onion
1/4 cup cilantro chopped

Avocado Crema

1 large avocado peeled and pitted
1/4 cup sour cream
1 tablespoon lime juice freshly squeezed
1/2 teaspoon salt

Instructions

1 Heat the vegetable oil in a large skillet over medium heat. Once hot, add the tortilla triangles in batches and fry until golden and crispy. Remove and drain on paper towels.
2 In the same skillet, remove excess oil, leaving about 1 tablespoon. Add the red enchilada sauce and bring to a gentle simmer.
3 Gently fold in the fried tortilla chips, making sure they are well-coated with the sauce. Allow to cook for 2-3 minutes until the chips are slightly softened.
4 In a separate pan, fry the eggs sunny-side up or to your preference.
5 To prepare the avocado crema, blend the avocado, sour cream, lime juice, and salt until smooth and creamy.
6 Serve the chilaquiles on plates, topped with a fried egg, shredded cheese, red onion slices, and chopped cilantro.
7 Drizzle the avocado crema over the chilaquiles and serve immediately.
