Chilaquiles Verde: A Breakfast You Won’t Forget

Some breakfasts are forgettable—a sad granola bar in the car, a rushed piece of toast, or, worse, nothing at all. Then, there are breakfasts that change your entire morning—bold, flavorful, and exactly what you didn’t know you needed. Enter chilaquiles verde.

This dish is crispy, cheesy, creamy, and just the right amount of messy. Every bite is packed with zesty salsa verde, melted cheese, cool sour cream, salty cotija, and a perfectly fried egg. It’s like your taste buds woke up, called in sick to work, and went on vacation.

Ingredients You’ll Need

• 1 egg (fried to sunny-side-up perfection)

• 1 handful tortilla chips (because balance is overrated)

• ½ cup salsa verde (enough to coat, but not drown)

• ½ cup shredded mozzarella cheese (for that gooey, melty magic)

• 2 tbsp sour cream (drizzle like you’re an artist)

• 2 tbsp cotija cheese (crumbly, salty goodness)

• ¼ cup shaved red onion (for a little crunch and bite)

• Micro cilantro (for the final fancy touch)

• A splash of oil (to fry that egg like a pro)

Step 1: Fry the Perfect Egg

Start by adding oil to the iVario and cracking in your egg. Fry it sunny-side up, making sure the white is fully cooked but the yolk stays beautifully runny. This is the crown jewel of your chilaquiles, so don’t rush it. A good fried egg is the difference between "Wow, this is good" and "I need to make this every day for the rest of my life."

Step 2: Coat Those Tortilla Chips Like They Deserve It

While your egg is doing its thing, toss your tortilla chips into a stainless steel bowl. Pour the salsa verde over them and gently toss until every chip is coated. You’re looking for even distribution—some chips will stay a little crispy, some will soak up that tangy green goodness. This is chilaquiles magic in the making.

Step 3: Melt That Cheese

Lay those salsa-coated chips on a half sheet pan and sprinkle mozzarella cheese generously over the top. Now, place them in the iCombi Pro for about 3 minutes—just enough time for the cheese to get hot, gooey, and perfectly melted.

The goal? That perfect cheese pull when you grab a bite.

Step 4: Build Your Bowl Like a Pro

Now comes the fun part. Take those cheesy, salsa-drenched chips and pile them into a large bowl. Drizzle the sour cream over the top—don't be shy, make it look good. Then, sprinkle that salty cotija cheese all over like you’re seasoning a masterpiece.

Top it with shaved red onion for a crisp, slightly tangy bite. Finally, place your perfectly fried egg on top, letting the yolk sit there like a golden beacon of deliciousness.

Step 5: The Final Garnish & The First Bite

The expo will add micro cilantro to give it that last pop of freshness. Then, it’s time to dig in. You’ll get a crispy chip, gooey cheese, rich egg yolk, tangy salsa, creamy sour cream, and that salty bite of cotija all in one forkful. It’s messy. It’s bold. It’s absolute perfection.

Final Thoughts

If you’ve never had chilaquiles verde, prepare for a life-changing breakfast experience. This dish is a flavor bomb, the kind of meal that makes you sit back and say, "Why don’t I eat this every single day?"

So grab a fork, break that yolk, and let every bite remind you that this is how breakfast should always be.
