Procedure
Scrap Used: Stale Tortilla Chips
Chilaquiles is a Mexican dish typically served for breakfast. Traditionally made by crisping stale soft corn tortillas in a skillet. In this recipe, we’ll be starting by crisping stale chips in a skillet, adding salsa, simmering, then dropping in eggs (Shakshuka style). The pan will get covered and cooked until set then topped with avocado, cilantro, cotija cheese etc.
In a large skillet, add the chips and salsa. Bring to a simmer over medium-low heat. Crack eggs into skillet, cover and simmer for about 5 minutes for runny yolks, 8 for set yolks.
Garnish with crema (or sour cream), cheese and cilantro.
