This meal comes together quickly, so prepare all of the ingredients before you start cooking. I like to get the eggs going first. I start by heating a skillet over high heat. Once the skillet is nice and hot I add a drizzle of olive oil. I crack four eggs into the skillet and immediately cover the skillet. The eggs will take about 4-5 minutes to become perfectly sunny side up.
The best thing about chilaquiles is that is that you have all of the ingredients in your kitchen already. The essential ingredients are tortilla chips and salsa. Then you can add beans, tomatoes, corn, jalapeƱos, meat, cheese, eggs, and anything else you like. This is a meal that was invented to use of leftovers, so search your fridge and see what you find. I like to add fresh tomatoes, corn, avocado, black beans, shredded cheese, and fried eggs on top of my chilaquiles. The tomatoes and corn are especially good because they add a fresh texture to the otherwise somewhat mushy meal.
