Chilaquiles rojos con huevo

I saw YouTuber Mikey Chen eat Chilaquiles at a fancy hotel in Las Vegas. He raved about the Mexican dish.

That made me curious and I checked some history and recipes online. That is basically a dish with leftover tortillas and everything but the kitchen sink. My kind of cooking!

Usually eaten in Mexico for breakfast or Brunch. Using up the homemade tortillas from the day before.

But the use of a bag of tortilla chips is a good alternative, even in Mexico.

There are two different versions, a red or a green sauce as the base.

My version contains defrosted homemade tomato sauce, some chili and cumin added for additional spice.

Recipe for 1:

1 1/2 cup spiced up tomato sauce

2-3 hands full of tortilla chips salted

1 bell pepper, 1/2 red onion, 1 spring onion, 1 avocado, 2 tbsp parsley, oil

1/4 cooked chicken breast, 2 tbsp grated mozzarella cheese, 1 tomato, 1 fried egg

Cut the onions in strips, the bell pepper in bite size chunks and saute them in oil for 8 - 10 min. Add the shredded chicken breast to heat through again.

Peel the avo and cut that and the tomato in chunks. Roughly chop the parsley. Fry the egg in oil. Heat up the tomato sauce.

Toss the tortilla chips in a larger bowl and pour the tomato sauce on top. Gather the other ingredients and set them on top. Finish with cheese and a fried egg on top.
