Chilaquiles II Recipe - Allrecipes.com

Directions

In a large, heavy skillet, heat the oil to 350 degrees F (175 degrees C). Carefully stir in the onion and tortilla strips. Fry until tortilla strips are crisp and golden brown. Remove from heat, and drain on paper towels. Drain the skillet, leaving only a thin residue of oil.
Over medium heat, return tortillas to the skillet, and stir in the eggs. Season with salt. Cook and stir until eggs are firm.
Mix Mexican style hot tomato sauce and water into the skillet. Reduce heat, and simmer until thickened, about 10 minutes. Top with cheese. Continue cooking until cheese has melted.

"I have been making this for years. Got the recipe verbally from a friend a long time ago and was glad to see it posted here. I use 1/2 red and 1/2 green sauce for a nice taste variety. There are man..." See morey (eggless) variations you can use with this recipe. All green sauce with boiled shredded chicken, all red sauce with ground beef in layers for an lasagna type meal.
