Ingredients
- 1 tablespoon olive oil
- 1 onion, chopped
- 2 cloves garlic, minced
- 1 can (14.5 ounces) fire-roasted diced tomatoes
- 1 tablespoon adobo sauce from canned chipotles (optional, for extra heat)
- 1 teaspoon ground cumin
- Salt and pepper, to taste
- 4 cups tortilla chips
- 4 large eggs
- 1 avocado, sliced
- 1/4 cup fresh cilantro, chopped
- 1/4 cup crumbled queso fresco or feta cheese
- Lime wedges, for serving
Instructions
- Prepare the sauce:
- Heat olive oil in a large skillet over medium heat. Add the chopped onion and sauté until translucent, about 5 minutes.
- Add the minced garlic and cook for another 30 seconds until fragrant.
- Stir in the fire-roasted diced tomatoes, adobo sauce, cumin, salt, and pepper. Simmer for about 10 minutes until the sauce thickens slightly.
- Add the tortilla chips:
- Gently stir in the tortilla chips, ensuring they are well coated with the sauce. Cook for 2-3 minutes until the chips are slightly softened but still maintain some crispness.
- Cook the eggs:
- Create four small wells in the chilaquiles mixture. Crack an egg into each well, cover the skillet, and cook for about 5 minutes, or until the eggs are set to your liking.
- Garnish and serve:
- Remove from heat and top with sliced avocado, chopped cilantro, and crumbled cheese.
- Serve immediately with lime wedges on the side for squeezing over the dish.
