2 Tortillas sliced into wedges or about 10 corn chips
1 Fried Egg
Refried Beans
1 cup green salsa (pre made or fresh made)
Mexican Crema or sour cream
Cilantro and Onion for garnish

tortilla chips

🥗Healthier: baked tortilla chips

💰Cheaper: homemade tortilla chips

Baked chips reduce fat content, while homemade can be more economical.

sour cream

🥗Healthier: Greek yogurt

💰Cheaper: plain yogurt

Greek yogurt lowers calories and adds protein.

cheese

🥗Healthier: nutritional yeast

💰Cheaper: processed cheese

Nutritional yeast is dairy-free and adds a cheesy flavor.

green salsa

🥗Healthier: homemade salsa verde

💰Cheaper: canned green salsa

Homemade can be fresher and lower in preservatives.

1

Heat vegetable oil in a large skillet over medium heat until shimmering.

2

Add tortilla chips to the skillet and cook until lightly golden, about 2-3 minutes.

3

Pour green salsa over the chips, gently mixing to coat them evenly.

4

Cook for an additional 2-3 minutes until the salsa is heated through.

5

In a separate pan, fry eggs to your desired doneness (sunny-side up or over-easy).

6

Remove the skillet from heat and top the chilaquiles with fried eggs.

7

Garnish with chopped onion and cilantro.

8

Add a dollop of sour cream on top.
