Follow The Directions

01

Step

5 mins

Heat corn oil in a large skillet over medium-high heat. Fry tortilla triangles until lightly golden and crisp, approximately 3-5 minutes.

02

Step

5 mins

Pour chipotle salsa over the fried tortillas, reduce heat to medium-low. Gently mix tortillas and salsa with a spatula, ensuring even coating. Simmer for 5 minutes, allowing the flavors to meld.

03

Step

5 mins

In a separate bowl, whisk together eggs, salt, and pepper. Pour the egg mixture over the tortilla and salsa mixture. Increase heat to medium-high. Gently scramble the eggs until just set.

04

Step

3 mins

Sprinkle shredded pepper Jack cheese evenly over the top of the chilaquiles. Cover the skillet, turn off the heat, and let it sit for 3 minutes, or until the cheese is fully melted and gooey.

For an extra layer of flavor, consider adding a sprinkle of cotija cheese or a dollop of Mexican crema before serving.
Customize the heat level by choosing your favorite chipotle salsa—mild, medium, or hot!
Serve immediately and enjoy!
