This is my mom's chilaquiles recipe. It is an easy Mexican breakfast dish of crispy fried tortilla pieces with salsa and eggs, topped with lots of cheese. This recipe makes enough chilaquiles to feed a crowd!

Ingredients

2 cups oil for frying
30 corns tortillas , 6-inch
0.25 cups chopped onion
6 large eggs , lightly beaten
2 teaspoons salt
7 ounces Mexican-style hot tomato sauce or salsa
0.5 cups water
0.5 cups shredded Monterey Jack cheese

Instructions

1

Gather all ingredients. Heat oil in a large, heavy skillet to 350 degrees F (175 degrees C).
2

Fry tortillas and onion in hot oil until crisp and golden brown, stirring frequently.
3

Remove to a paper towel-lined plate to drain. Drain the skillet, leaving only a thin residue of oil.
4

Place the skillet over medium heat. Return fried tortillas and onion to the skillet and stir in beaten eggs; season with salt. Cook and stir until eggs are firm.
5

Stir in tomato salsa and water. Reduce heat and simmer until thickened, about 10 minutes.
6

Sprinkle with cheese and continue cooking until cheese is melted.
