EatingWell: Chilaquiles Are Perfect for a Fun Fiesta

This dish is a great way to use stale tortillas. (Peter Ardito/TNS)

This Mexican chilaquiles recipe is a one-skillet dish made with corn tortillas and eggs. Making chilaquiles is a great way to use stale tortillas, as they are crisped in the oven before being simmered in a flavorful garlicky sauce. Unless you want a very spicy sauce, make sure to use regular (not hot) chili powder.

Pinto Bean Chilaquiles

Active Time: 40 minutes Total Time: 40 minutes

Serves 4

• Canola oil cooking spray
• 8 (6-inch) corn tortillas
• 3 tablespoons canola oil
• 3 cloves garlic, minced
• 1/3 cup chili powder
• 1/4 teaspoon salt
• 1 1/2 cups water
• 1 teaspoon sugar
• 1 (15-ounce) can pinto beans, rinsed
• 4 large eggs
• 1/2 cup sliced radishes
• 1/4 cup chopped cilantro
• 1/4 cup crumbled feta cheese
• 1 tablespoon chopped red onion

Preheat the oven to 375 degrees F.

Coat tortillas with cooking spray; cut into quarters. Spread on a large baking sheet. Bake, stirring once halfway, until crispy, 14 to 18 minutes. Remove from the oven.

Heat oil in a large skillet over medium-high heat. Add garlic, chili powder, and salt and cook, stirring, until fragrant, about 30 seconds. Stir in water, sugar, and beans; bring to a simmer. Add the chips and return to a simmer, turning to coat, until the chips begin to soften, 2 to 3 minutes.

Reduce the heat to medium-low. Crack an egg into a small bowl, taking care not to break the yolk, and slip it into the pan. Repeat, spacing the eggs evenly (the whites may spread a bit). Cover and cook until the whites are just set, 4 to 6 minutes. Remove from heat. Top with radishes, cilantro, feta, and onion.
