Equipment
- 9 x 13 baking dish (or similar size)
- aluminum foil
- ladle or large spoon (to make wells in the dish for the eggs)
Ingredients
- 2 cans red enchilada sauce (10-12 ounces)
- 1 4 ounce can chopped green chiles
- 1 teaspoon chili powder
- ½ teaspoon onion powder
- ½ teaspoon garlic powder
- ½ teaspoon ground cumin
- ½ teaspoon dried oregano (use Mexican oregano if you can)
- 6 stalks green onions, sliced (separate the white and green parts)
- 8 ounces shredded cheddar cheese (about 2 cups)
- 6-8 cups tortilla chips
- 6 large eggs
- 1 large avocado, pitted, peeled and diced
- ¼ cup queso fresco cheese
- ¼ cup fresh cilantro, roughly chopped
Instructions
- Preheat the oven to 350°F. Prepare a 9x13 baking dish with cooking spray or oil and set it aside.
- Add the enchilada sauce, chiles, the white parts of the green onions, chili powder, onion powder, garlic powder, cumin, and oregano to the mixing bowl and stir to combine.
- Place about 1 cup of the mixture at the bottom of the baking dish and spread out with a spoon. Cover the sauce with about 1 cup of the shredded cheddar cheese and top with the tortilla chips in an even layer.
- Pour the rest of the sauce mixture on top of the tortilla chips followed by the rest of the cheddar cheese.
- Cover the baking dish with foil and bake for 30 minutes.
- Take the dish out of the oven and remove the foil. Create 6 wells in the top of the chilaquiles using the back of a ladle or spoon. Carefully crack each egg into the wells and return the dish to the oven to bake for an additional 10-15 minutes until the whites are firm.
- Once the eggs have set to your liking, remove the dish from the oven and top it with the remaining greens of the green onion, avocado slices, queso fresco, and cilantro. Serve immediately.
