Description

These chilaquiles verdes, topped with fried eggs, make for a delicious breakfast or brunch that you can load up with crema and fresh garnishes before digging in!


Ingredients

Scale
  • 1 (16-ounce) jar tomatillo salsa or 2 cups homemade Tomatillo Salsa Verde
  • 1 cup vegetable broth (for added flavor)
  • 6 ounces thick tortilla chips (about 4 handfuls; consider using the El Milagro brand or your favorite)
  • Cilantro Lime Crema (for drizzling)
  • 4 poached eggs (for a lighter option)
  • 1 ripe avocado, sliced
  • 2 radishes, thinly sliced
  • ½ jalapeño pepper, thinly sliced (adjust based on heat preference)
  • Feta cheese (as an alternative to Cotija)
  • Fresh cilantro leaves (for garnish)
  • Sea salt and freshly ground black pepper (to taste)
  • Lime wedges (for a zesty finish)

Instructions

  1. Combine the salsa and water in a large skillet, bring to a simmer over medium heat, and cook for 5 to 10 minutes while stirring occasionally until slightly thickened, then fold in the chips to coat them in the sauce.
  2. Remove from the heat and top with drizzles of cilantro lime crema, fried eggs, avocado, radishes, and jalapeños, then sprinkle with Cotija cheese and cilantro, season with salt and pepper to taste, and serve with more crema on the side.
