Directions:

1. Prepare the Tortilla Chips:

If you’re making homemade tortilla chips, cut corn tortillas into wedges and fry them in a skillet with oil over medium-high heat until golden brown and crispy. Alternatively, you can use store-bought chips.

Drain the chips on a paper towel to remove excess oil.

2. Make the Green Chile Sauce:

In a medium skillet, heat the olive oil over medium heat.

Add the chopped onion and sauté until softened (about 2-3 minutes).

Stir in the green chiles and cook for another 2 minutes.

Pour in the green chile sauce and bring it to a simmer. Let it cook for 5-7 minutes, allowing the flavors to meld together.

Season with salt and pepper to taste.

3. Assemble the Chilaquiles:

Pour the green chile sauce over the tortilla chips in a large skillet or baking dish. Toss to coat the chips evenly with the sauce.

Sprinkle the shredded cheese generously over the top of the chips.

Cover the skillet with a lid and cook over medium heat for 3-5 minutes, or until the cheese is melted and bubbly. For extra cheesy chilaquiles, feel free to add more cheese on top during cooking.

4. Serve:

Once the cheese is melted and the chips are heated through, remove the skillet from the heat.

Garnish with chopped fresh cilantro, a drizzle of sour cream or Mexican crema, and sliced avocado if desired.

Tips for Success:

Sauce: If you prefer a spicier dish, you can use a hotter green chile sauce or add jalapeños to the green chile sauce.

Tortilla Chips: For an extra crispy texture, bake the tortilla chips in the oven for a few minutes before using them.

Add Protein: Add cooked chicken or eggs on top to make this dish even heartier.
