Steps

1. Sauté the tortilla18 min
On a cutting board, cut your tortillas as shown in the image below. then take your skillet and add oil. Let it heat for about 5 minutes, then add all the tortillas you cut. Try to brown them evenly, as these will be your tostadas or tortilla chips. Stir them until they’re nicely browned. This is the longest step because you need to make sure your tortillas brown as well as possible.
2. Add chipotle7 min
Make sure your kitchen is well ventilated so you don’t get overwhelmed by the smoke from the chipotle peppers, and make sure the tortillas are already nicely browned before you turn off the heat under the pan. Now take 2 or 3 chipotle peppers from the can and dice them. Add all the diced chipotle peppers and a little juice from the can to give your chilaquiles a red color. Stir very well while seasoning with salt to taste.
3. Prepare the dish2 min
In a skillet, add a little butter and/or oil, then add two eggs and cook them to your liking—scrambled, sunny-side up, etc. While your eggs are cooking, arrange your chilaquiles on a plate, add sour cream to taste, some cheese if you have it, and a little chopped onion. Place your egg on top, and there you go—your dish is ready.
