Servings: 4
Ingredients
Salsa Verde
  • 1 ½ pounds tomatillos husked
  • ½ medium white onion
  • 1 serrano pepper
  • ¼ cup cilantro, tender stems and leaves
  • 2 cloves garlic
  • ¼ cup vegetable broth
  • ¼ teaspoon salt
Chilaquiles
  • 10 corn tortillas
  • 1 cup cooked black beans
  • ¼ cup vegetable broth
  • 8 large eggs, cooked sunny side up
  • ¼ cup crumbled queso fresco
  • 1 avocado, sliced
  • Thinly sliced red onion and radish for garnish
Instructions
  1. To prepare salsa verde: Bring a medium pot of water to a boil. Add tomatillos, onion and serrano; boil until the tomatillos are fork-tender, about 10 minutes. Drain the vegetables and transfer to a blender. Add cilantro, garlic and broth; blend to a chunky consistency, 5 to 7 seconds. Transfer to a large bowl and stir in salt. Rinse out the blender.
  2. To prepare chilaquiles: Preheat oven to 300°F. Line a large baking sheet with parchment paper.
  3. Stack tortillas and cut into 8 triangles. Spread the tortilla pieces in an even layer on the prepared baking sheet; bake until crispy, about 40 minutes.
  4. Meanwhile, combine black beans and broth in the blender; puree until smooth, about 30 seconds.
  5. To assemble chilaquiles: Add the tortilla chips to the bowl with the salsa verde; toss to combine. Divide among 4 plates and top each with some of the bean mixture, 2 eggs, 1 tablespoon queso fresco and 1/4 avocado. Garnish with red onion and radish, if desired.
