Chilaquiles Rojos With Eggs
Chilaquiles rojos, or red chilaquiles, are an easy and nutritious meal you can enjoy anytime of day. Whip these up for a delicious breakfast, lunch, or dinner for two!
Ingredients
- 2 large eggs beaten well
- 15 ounces canned black beans drained and rinsed
- ½ cup shredded Mexican-blend cheese
- 1½ cups ranchero sauce see Notes
- 5 ounces tortilla chips
- 1 medium avocado cubed
Lime Crema
- ¼ cup plain Greek yogurt
- ½ medium lime juiced
- 1 pinch sea salt
Instructions
- First, make the lime crema. Combine Greek yogurt, lime juice, and sea salt in a small bowl and mix well until smooth and creamy. Set aside.
- Next, scramble the eggs over medium-low heat until fluffy, about 5 minutes. Add the black beans and warm for a minute or two, then stir in the cheese until it’s melted. Lower the heat to keep warm until you’re ready to plate.
- Now, soak the chips in sauce. Add the ranchero sauce to a large frying pan and warm over low heat until steaming. Add the tortilla chips and gently stir/turn them over until they're drenched in sauce, working in batches as needed. Transfer the chips to a large dinner plate for serving.
- Finally, assemble and serve. Top the tortilla chips with the scrambled eggs and beans, cubed avocado, and a generous drizzle of lime crema. Serve immediately.
Notes
Ranchero sauce: Make your own ranchero sauce using this recipe for the best flavor (seriously, it only takes 20 minutes). The recipe will make more than you need, but you can easily use the rest in other Mexican dishes like these vegetarian enchiladas or chicken burritos. We also like to freeze the extra sauce in our 1 cup Souper Cubes for easy use later on!
Serving: We like to serve chilaquiles family-style, with 2 forks and a small plate to catch any spills on the way to our mouths :) But you could also serve them with a big serving fork or small spatula, so that everyone can portion out their own serving onto a smaller plate.
Scaling: This recipe is meant for two, but you can easily scale it up to feed any number of people. Refer to our blog post above for some helpful guidelines.
