Gently fold a handful of tortilla chips into the pan. It’s ok if some break, but try to keep some chips whole. Continue to add and fold chips until all the chips are coated in tomato sauce.

While the chilaquiles are baking prepare the avocado crema by placing all of the ingredients in a high-speed food processor. Process on low until smooth and creamy. If you would like a thinner crema, add a few teaspoons of water to the food processor.

Tips and Warnings

  • The kind of salsa you use will determine the flavor of the chilaquiles sauce.
  • If you would like saucier chilaquiles add ½ cup of tomato sauce to the sauce.
  • How many chips you use will vary by person. We used about half of a bag of 16oz. bag of tortilla chips. The key is to use only enough chips so that every chip is covered in sauce. If you use too many chips, you will know.
  • This recipe allows room for 6 eggs. You can serve this recipe to 4 – 6 people depending on your preference.
