Instructions

Start by pickling the red onion and chili pepper. In a small bowl, squeeze the lime juice over the red onion slices and chili pepper and toss to combine; set aside.
Next, slice the tortilla into chip-sized pieces.
To a pan over medium-high heat, add 1 Tbsp avocado oil. Once hot, place the tortilla “chips” into the oil and fry until golden, about 2 minutes on each side. Remove from the heat and place on a paper-towel lined plate. Season with salt to taste, and set aside.
In the same pan, add remaining 1 Tbsp avocado oil to fry the eggs. Fry the eggs to your desired consistency (note: works well with over-easy).
Then begin to assemble the chilaquiles. dividee the tortilla “chips” between two plates, and then add the salsa, pickled onions and chilis, 2 fried eggs each, and crumbled cotija (or queso fresco) on top.
Serve with freshly chopped cilantro and lime wedges.
