Ingredients

  • 3 cups tortilla chips (thick-cut or fried tortillas, cut into wedges)
  • 1 cup salsa verde (jarred)
  • 1 cup red chile sauce or hot salsa (jarred)
  • 2 large eggs
  • ¼ cup crema or sour cream
  • ⅓ cup queso fresco or cotija cheese, crumbled
  • ¼ cup fresh cilantro, chopped

Instructions

  1. 1

    Heat 2 tbsp oil in a large skillet over medium-high heat until shimmering, about 90 seconds.

  2. 2

    Add tortilla chips and toss briefly to coat. Spread into two piles on opposite sides of the skillet.

  3. 3

    Pour salsa verde over one pile, red chile sauce over the other. Toss each side separately until chips are coated and beginning to soften, 2–3 minutes.

  4. 4

    Push chips to the sides, crack both eggs into the center, and fry until whites set but yolks still jiggle, 3–4 minutes.

  5. 5

    Drizzle crema across the center. Scatter cheese and cilantro over both sides. Serve immediately from the skillet.

Tools you’ll need

  • 12-inch non-stick or cast iron skillet
