Ingredients
Scale
Corn Tortillas
- 12 Corn Tortillas
Green Chiles
- 1 cup Green Chiles, diced
Extra Cheese
- 2 cups Extra Cheese, shredded (e.g., cheddar or Monterey Jack)
Eggs
- 4 Eggs
Cilantro
- 1/4 cup Fresh Cilantro, chopped
Instructions
- Prepare the Tortillas: Cut the corn tortillas into quarters and lightly fry them in a skillet with a bit of oil until they are crispy and golden brown. This will add texture and flavor to your dish.
- Sauté the Green Chiles: In the same skillet, remove excess oil and add the green chiles. Sauté them for a couple of minutes until they are fragrant, allowing their flavors to infuse into the oil.
- Combine Ingredients: Add the crispy tortillas back into the skillet with the sautéed green chiles. Toss them together to coat the tortillas evenly, allowing them to absorb that delicious flavor.
- Add Cheese: Sprinkle a generous amount of extra cheese over the mixture and cover the skillet with a lid. Let it cook for a few minutes until the cheese melts and becomes gooey.
- Prepare the Eggs: While the cheese is melting, cook your eggs to your liking—scrambled or fried. Once ready, place them on top of the cheesy tortilla mix.
- Garnish and Serve: Finally, sprinkle fresh cilantro over the top and serve your Green Chile And Extra Cheese Chilequiles hot. Enjoy with your favorite toppings!
Notes
- Use Fresh Ingredients: Fresh green chiles and high-quality cheese make all the difference in flavor.
- Don’t Overcrowd the Skillet: Fry the tortillas in batches to ensure they become crispy.
- Experiment with Toppings: Try adding avocado slices or a dollop of sour cream for extra creaminess.
- Serve Immediately: Chilequiles are best enjoyed fresh out of the skillet to maintain their texture.
- Make It Ahead: Pre-prepare components like the tortillas and sauce, and assemble them just before serving.
