Chilaquiles began as a resourceful way to use up day-old tortillas, and has since become a beloved Mexican breakfast dish in its own right.
A traditional Mexican breakfast of crisp tortilla chips simmered in salsa until just softened, topped with cheese, cream and a fried egg.
Heat the salsa in a large pan until simmering.
Add tortilla chips and toss gently to coat, cooking for 1-2 minutes until just softened but not soggy.
Transfer to plates and top with crumbled cheese, crema and sliced onion.
Top each portion with a fried egg and serve immediately.
Work quickly once the chips hit the salsa — they soften fast, and the goal is tender chips with a little bite left, not mush.
