  • Ready in 30 minutes and uses up stale tortillas perfectly
  • Tangy homemade tomatillo salsa beats any jarred version
  • Fried egg on top turns it into a full, satisfying breakfast
  • 8 corn tortillas, cut into sixths (or 5 cups store-bought tortilla chips)
  • 1 cup vegetable oil, for frying (if making chips from scratch)
  • +11 more ingredients
  • 2 cups all-purpose flour
  • 1 tablespoon fresh herbs
  1. If making your own chips, heat 1 cup of oil in a large skillet over medium heat until a tortilla piece dropped in sizzles instantly. Fry the tortilla pieces in batches for 2 minutes, flipping once, until golden and crisp. Drain on paper towels and lightly salt. Skip this step if using store-bought chips.

Continue simmering until the sauce reduces and coats the back of a spoon.

Rest the dish for five minutes before serving with your favorite side.
