Chilaquiles with baked eggs

“On a recent family holiday to Playa del Carmen, we became enamoured with the Mexican breakfast classic chilaquiles. The fried tortillas start off crispy, but as they thirstily slurp up the spiced salsa verde, they transform into the most delicious sloppy corn chips you’ve ever tasted! You can use tomatoes in place of tomatillos, but you may want to add more citrus (lime) to inject some tartness. I added the baked eggs for a fortifying earthiness. I’ve also included a list of recommended toppings, but you can top with whatever textural add-ons you like” - Hetty Mckinnon.
