Ingredients

  • 2 whole corn tortillas
  • 1 cup salsa verde
  • 4 whole eggs
  • ¼ cup white onion, diced
  • ¼ cup queso fresco or cotija, crumbled
  • 2 tbsp fresh cilantro, chopped

Instructions

  1. 1

    Heat oil in a 10-inch skillet over medium-high until shimmering, about 90 seconds.

  2. 2

    Cut tortillas into 1/2-inch strips and add to the pan. Toss until edges brown and crisp, 3–4 minutes.

  3. 3

    Pour salsa verde over the tortilla strips. Stir to coat, then spread into an even layer.

  4. 4

    Make 4 small wells in the salsa. Crack an egg into each well. Cover and cook until whites set but yolks jiggle, 3–4 minutes.

  5. 5

    Scatter diced onion, cheese, and cilantro over the top. Serve directly from the skillet.
