  • 1/4 cup Greek yogort
  • 8 eggs
  • 1/2 cup Mexican cheese shredded
  • 1 lime

Method
 

Make the Chilaquiles
  1. Peel and coarsely chop onion. Then, finely chop 1/4 cup and set aside for garnish
  2. In a large frying pan over medium-high heat, warm 1 to 2 teaspoons oil until hot but not smoking. Add the coarsely chopped onion, season with salt and pepper, and cook, stirring occasionally, until starting to soften, 2 to 3 minutes.
  3. Stir in the tomatillo simmer sauce base and bring to a boil, then reduce to a simmer. 
  4. Add the tortilla chips and cook, stirring occasionally, until starting to soften, 2 to 3 minutes.
  5. Remove from the heat and season to taste with salt and pepper.
  6. Meanwhile, prepare the lime yogurt and cilantro.
Make the Lime Yogurt + Prep the Cilantro
  1. Zest and juice one lime, keeping the zest and juice separate.
  2. Coarsely chop the cilantro for garnish
  3. In a small bowl, stir together the yogurt, lime zest, and 1 teaspoon (2 tsp) lime juice. Season to taste with salt and pepper.
Fry the Eggs
  1. In a medium frying pan over medium heat, warm 2 to 3 teaspoons butter or oil (from your pantry) until hot but not smoking.
  2. Crack the eggs directly into the pan and season with salt and pepper. Cook until the whites have set and the yolks are slightly runny, 2 to 3 minutes. For firmer yolks, cook for 1 to 2 minutes longer.
Serve the Chilaquiles!
