Spicy Chilaquiles
Ingredients
  • 2 cups oil for frying
  • 30 (6 inch) corn tortillas, torn into strips
  • 1/4 cup chopped onion
  • 6 eggs, lightly beaten
  • 2 teaspoons salt
  • 1 (7.75 ounce) can Mexican style hot tomato sauce
  • 1/2 cup water
  • 1/2 cup shredded Monterey Jack cheese
Instructions
1
Preheat a substantial, thick-bottomed pan over high heat to 350 degrees F (175 degrees C). Sear tortillas and onion in the hot oil until they become crispy and golden, constantly stirring to prevent burning. Transfer them to a plate lined with paper towels to remove excess oil.
2
Dispose of the remaining oil in the pan, leaving behind a thin film.
3
Set the pan over a moderate temperature. Reintroduce fried tortillas and onion into the pan, then incorporate beaten eggs; add a pinch of salt to taste. Cook and stir until the eggs become solid.
4
Introduce tomato sauce and water into the mixture, then decrease the heat and let it simmer until it thickens, approximately 10 minutes. Sprinkle grated cheese over the top and continue cooking until the cheese is melted.
