Ingredients

The ingredients are:
  • 4 eggs (large organic eggs)
  • 2 tablespoons butter
  • 4 corn tortillas
  • 1/2 cup salsa verde or tomatillo salsa (green sauce)
  • 2 ounces crumbled or shredded cheese (cotija, queso fresco, feta, cheddar, jack, etc.)
  • 2 tablespoons minced cilantro
  • 1/4 cup Mexican crema (creme fraiche, or runny/thin sour cream)
  • Salt and pepper
  • Paprika or chili powder
We recommend you get your ingredients ready before you start cooking. Once you're ready, here are the steps to making this delicious recipe

How to Make

  • Step 1: Heat butter in an 8-inch nonstick skillet on low heat.

  • Step 2: Add corn tortillas one at a time, turning them over as they soften, then folding them, pushing aside and adding another; when they are all soft, arrange them overlapping to cover the bottom of the skillet.

  • Step 3: Spread salsa over the tortillas then top with cracked eggs; immediately cover and cook over low heat 6-8 minutes or until almost set as you like them, leaving an extra minute of cooking to top with cheese, covering again and allowing it to soften or melt.

  • Step 4: Sprinkle with cilantro, salt, pepper, paprika or chili powder and drizzle with crema.

  • Step 5: Cut into pieces (I use a pizza cutter) and serve hot.
