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

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