Servings: 4
Calories: 457kcal
Ingredients
- 1/4 cup high heat oil for frying
- 12 corn tortillas quartered
- 15 oz fire roasted tomatoes diced, ~1 can
- 1/2 onion diced
- 2 cloves garlic minced
- 1 jalapeño chopped, see notes
- 1 tsp dried Mexican oregano
- 2 eggs sunny side up
- 1 avocado sliced
- 1 oz cotija cheese crumbled, or more or less as desired
- fresh cilantro chopped
Instructions
- Heat the oil in a large skillet over medium high heat until shimmery. Add the tortilla wedges in batches and cook, flipping as needed, until golden. Remove, drain, and lightly salt.
- Place the tomatoes, onion, garlic, chipotle or jalapeño, and oregano in a blender and blend until smooth.
- Pour the sauce into a large skillet and cook over medium high heat, stirring occasionally, until slightly thick 5-10 minutes. Taste and season with salt.
- Add the chips to the sauce and stir carefully, coating all the chips, until the chips are slightly soft and heated through, 1-5 minutes depending on how crunchy you want your chips.
- Top with fried eggs, avocado, cheese, and cilantro and enjoy immediately.
Notes
Replace the chopped jalapeno for one (or more) pepper from a can of chipotle peppers in adobo for an extra spicy, extra smoky taste.
It's not really recommended to use store-bought chips instead of making your own, but if you need to, go for the thickest chips you can find.
