Chilaquiles

Chilaquiles with srirachaThis simple breakfast is quick and easy to make once you learn how. I’ve even made this on a camping trip, and everyone asked for seconds. It eats like a casserole and is a satisfying comfort food.

Ingredients:
  • 6 Corn Tortillas
  • 3/4 cup Tomato Sauce
  • 1 cup Shredded cheese (Jack, cheddar, american, your choice! as much as you want!)
  • Canola oil (enough to coat the bottom of a pan)
  • Optional: Top with sriracha, cotija cheese, salsa, sour cream, or a fried egg.
Directions
  1. Heat up the canola oil in a pan on medium heat.
  2. Tear up the corn tortillas into bite sized pieces and lightly fry in the oil. You’re not trying to crisp them; just coat to soften them up. You won’t want them completely dry.
  3. Add tomato sauce and stir enough to coat the tortillas.
  4. Add cheese and stir, then turn off the heat and cover until the cheese has melted.
  5. Dish up and top with whatever you’d like, or have it as is! My favorite is between some srirarcha for a kick, and a fried egg with runny yolk, cotija cheese, and salsa. Enjoy!
