Description

Huevoquiles are a comforting Mexican breakfast or brunch dish that transforms humble corn chips into a hearty meal. The fried tortilla chips are gently simmered in a mixture of creamy red tomato salsa and heavy cream, allowing them to soften while absorbing the rich, savory flavors. This base is then topped with perfectly fried sunny-side-up eggs and a dollop of sour cream, creating a delightful contrast of textures from the chewy chips to the runny yolk. It is an ideal dish for weekend mornings, offering a satisfying and flavorful experience that feels both rustic and indulgent. The combination of spices in the salsa and the richness of the cheese makes it a standout choice for those craving a warm, comforting start to the day.

Ingredients

Directions

  1. Combine the red tomato salsa and heavy cream in a saucepan.
  2. Bring the mixture to a boil over medium heat.
  3. Add the fried tortilla chips to the saucepan.
  4. Reduce the heat and simmer, stirring frequently, until the chips soften, about 15 minutes.
  5. Stir in the grated cheese mixture and remove the saucepan from the heat.
  6. Melt the unsalted butter in a large nonstick skillet over medium heat.
  7. Fry the eggs sunny-side up, just until the whites are set but yolks are still runny.
  8. Ladle the corn chip mixture into serving bowls.
  9. Top each bowl with a fried egg and 1 teaspoon of sour cream.
  10. Serve immediately.

Note

The original ingredient list included "1 c Heavy cream" and "4 c Fried tortilla chips" mixed within the directions. These have been assumed as standard quantities for this recipe.

The cheese mixture consists of 2 parts grated Manchego, 2 parts grated Panela, and 1 part grated Cotija.

Fried tortilla chips can be made by frying corn tortillas in oil until crispy, or you can use store-bought thick corn chips for convenience.

For a vegan version, omit the eggs, cheese, and sour cream, and use a plant-based cream alternative.

Serve warm for the best texture, as the chips may continue to absorb liquid if left to sit.
