Chilaquiles

This morning I had the urge to make chilaquiles for breakfast, it's a traditional Mexican meal that is eaten for breakfast.  Enjoy!
 Ingredients:
  •  Corn oil
  • 6 tortillas
  • 6 eggs 
  • Garlic salt
  • 1 can red salsa (El Pato)
  • Sliced white onion
  • Jack cheese
  • Sour cream
  • Cilantro
  • Jalapeno
  • Parmesan cheese
Slice your tortillas like this:
Next place half of them in a hot pan with corn oil (its important to do half at time so they cook evenly) Let them cook until you see that they are golden brown and you can feel with your wooden spoon that they are crispy like this:
This is how they should look (some pieces are burned, but they are still yummy!) As you can see I placed them on a plate with a paper towel to absorb some of the oil.:
Next you want to put the tortillas back in your pan (it didn't mention you should use a non stick pan) and add the 6 eggs, I have whisked them with garlic salt, you can use salt and pepper if you wish, I love garlic salt on my eggs.  You don't need to add more oil, the pan should already have some.
Cook your eggs thoroughly, add your canned red sauce, you can use green sauce, no sauce, or you can make your own sauce too!:
Mix your sauce with the eggs, let it cook together for a few minutes, while its cooking, slice some onion:
Place your sliced onions in the pan with the eggs, mix around.  Next add shredded jack cheese (no need to mix that):
Next time to plate your food!  Place your eggs on a dish, add a dollop of sour cream, a few sprinkles of parmesan cheese, a few sprigs of cilantro and for those heat lovers a fresh jalapeno!:
  I hope you enjoyed this simple recipe, not the healthiest meal, but that's OK....My blog will chronicle foods that are DELICIOUS! regardless of it being healthy or not!
