Spicy Chilaquiles

Prep Time: 15 Min
Cook Time: 15 - 20 Min

Yields: 2 Servings

WHAT YOU NEED

2 x Burrito Tortillas + Frying Oil of choice, Himalayan Salt, Tajin
2 Large, Free-Range Eggs + Himalayan Salt, Cracked Pep, Red Pepper Flakes, Tajin, Cooking Spray
215ml Red Enchilada Sauce
10 + Dashes Spicy Valentina Hot Sauce (Sub Hot Mexican Sauce of Choice)
Lime
1/2 C Monterey Jack Cheese, shredded
Garnishes - Crumbled Feta Cheese, Diced Red Onions, Fresh Cilantro, Sliced Green Onions, Valentina Hot Sauce

CHIPS - Fill a medium sized pot about half way up with your desired frying oil and set it to medium heat. Cut the burrito wraps in to long strips, then, cut those strips in to triangle shaped chips. Continue to test the oil by breaking apart one chip and dropping little pieces of it in. You're looking for immediate, rapid bubbling and floating to the top. Once heated, fry your tortilla chips in batches, letting them go until golden brown, flipping as best you can, and finishing on a paper towel lined plate with a sprinkling of salt & Tajin. Continue until all chips are finished cooking and seasoned on your plate. Set aside and don't forget to take that oil off of the heat.

On that same burner, get a small, 10" cast iron heating up on medium. Pour in the enchilada sauce, fill the jar 1/2 way with water, swish it around, and pour this in to the skillet as well. Squeeze in the juice of half a lime to start, and 10+ dashes of the spicy Valentina, and season with salt. Stir and let the sauce start bubbling. Once bubbling away, reduce slightly and let it simmer for 5ish. Give it a taste and if desired, add additional lime or hot sauce. Once ready, drop in your chips and stir to coat them completely. They will simmer in the sauce only for the duration of time it takes to cook your eggs.
Heat a small, stainless pan sprayed with cooking spray to just below medium. Crack in the eggs once heated, and season with salt, cracked pepper, red pepper flakes, and Tajin. Once the white looks almost done, take a little water in the lid for the pan and flip it over to cover the pan. Turn off the heat and after about 30 + seconds, the whites should be set while the yolks should still be gorgeous and golden.

Transfer the skillet of saucy chips to a cooling rack / serving station. Carefully top with your eggs with some crumbled feta or Cotija cheese, fresh green onions and cilantro, and some crisp, red onions. Serve on its own, or with a side of chips / tortillas. ENJOY!
