Cook's Tips

A poached or scrambled egg may be placed on each serving of Chilaquiles for a heartier breakfast. Make your own tortilla chips to substitute in this recipe by cutting corn tortillas into pieces and spraying with cooking spray. Place on a baking sheet and bake in a 400°F oven 10 minutes or until crisp.
