• 15 small corn tortillas

• Avocado oil (for frying)

• 2 tbsp Bacon Up

• 1 can taco fiesta black beans

• 4 large eggs

• Hussey's Fiesta Dust

  
  

Making the Salsa Verde

For the salsa verde, you will need:

• 9 tomatillos, skin removed and cut in half

• 1 poblano pepper, cut in half and seeded

• 2 jalapeño peppers, cut in half and seeded

• 1/4 white onion, root and skin removed

• 4 cloves garlic, peeled

Directions to Cook Chilaquiles

1. Preheat the Griddle

   Set your griddle to medium-high heat and add some avocado oil. Place the first five salsa verde ingredients on the griddle. Char them until they are to your liking. Once done, transfer everything to a blender. Add 1/4 cup of water and blend until smooth.

   
   

2. Prepare the Salsa Verde

   Add the remaining salsa verde ingredients to the blender. Blend well until everything is mixed thoroughly. Season to taste with salt and pepper. Pour the salsa into a bowl and set aside.

   
   

3. Prepare the Tortillas

   Cut the tortillas into bite-sized pieces. Add oil and Bacon Up to the griddle, then add the tortilla pieces. Mix them well to ensure an even fry. Turn off one burner while you fry the tortillas for better heat control.

   
   

4. Warm the Black Beans

   While the tortillas are frying, warm the black beans on the other side of the griddle. Once the chips are fried to your desired crispiness, add a sprinkle of salt. Move the tortilla chips to the cooler part of the griddle and add a little more oil. Crack your eggs on the hot section to cook them.

   
   

5. Cook the Eggs

   Season the eggs with Hussey's Fiesta Dust. Cook them to your preference— sunny-side up or over easy. While the eggs are cooking, drizzle some salsa verde over the tortilla chips and mix them up.

   
   

6. Assemble the Dish

   When the eggs are ready, take your tortilla chips and place them on a plate. Add the warmed black beans next to the chips and top everything with the sunny-side-up eggs.

   
   

Tips for Perfect Chilaquiles

• Use Fresh Ingredients: Always use fresh ingredients for the best flavor.

• Storage: If you have leftovers, store them separately. Chilaquiles do not keep well once assembled; the chips can become soggy.

• Customize Your Dish: Feel free to add toppings like avocado, cilantro, or additional salsa for extra flavor.
