This Savory Chilaquiles Surprise is a delightful twist on the classic dish, featuring crispy tortilla triangles tossed in zesty salsa and topped with fluffy scrambled eggs and melted pepper Jack cheese.
Ingredients
2 cups tortilla triangles
1 cup oil
1 cup salsa
4 large eggs
1/2 teaspoon salt
1/4 teaspoon black pepper
1 cup shredded pepper Jack cheese
Method
Heat a generous amount of oil in a large skillet over medium-high heat. Add the tortilla triangles and fry them until they're beautifully golden and crisp, which should take around 3 to 5 minutes.
Pour the salsa over the crispy tortillas, then reduce the heat to medium-low. Gently mix the tortilla and salsa together with a spatula, allowing it to simmer for an additional 5 minutes.
In a mixing bowl, whisk together the eggs along with a pinch of salt and a dash of black pepper. Pour this egg mixture into the skillet with the tortilla and salsa.
Increase the heat back to medium-high and gently scramble the eggs until they are just set and cooked through.
Top with a generous sprinkle of shredded pepper Jack cheese, cover the skillet, and turn off the heat. Let it sit for about 3 minutes for the cheese to melt beautifully.
