Steps:
- Preheat oven to 425°F. Cook bacon in a large (12") cast-iron or other ovenproof skillet over medium heat, stirring occasionally, until fat is rendered and bacon is beginning to crisp, 5-7 minutes. Add garlic and chile and continue to cook, stirring, until bacon is crisp and garlic is golden brown, 2-3 minutes more. Add beans, stir to combine, then stir in 2 cups salsa verde. Taste by dipping a tortilla chip into mixture; season with salt if needed.
- Transfer bean mixture to a large bowl (trying to add the chips to the skillet will make a mess, trust us). Gently stir in 8 cups chips with a rubber spatula until thoroughly coated without breaking chips. Return to hot skillet. Stick a handful of fresh chips vertically into mixture here and there-they will get extra crunchy as the chilaquiles bake. Sprinkle Monterey Jack and Cotija over. Make 8 evenly spaced indentations in filling and carefully crack an egg into each. Bake until egg whites are opaque and cheese is bubbly, 10-15 minutes.
- Top chilaquiles with cilantro. Serve with hot sauce, lime wedges, and more salsa verde alongside.

GREEN CHILAQUILES WITH EGGS
This comforting Mexican dish is made with fried tortillas and salsa. Frying tortillas is easy, but you can use store-bought chips if you'd like; just be sure that they are thick, the type sold in bags at Mexican groceries or tortillerías.

Steps:
- Heat broiler. Place tomatillos and chiles on a baking sheet and set about 4 inches below broiler. Roast until dark and blackened in spots, about 5 minutes. Flip over and roast on other side until tomatillos are soft and charred in spots and chiles are soft all the way through, 4 to 5 minutes. Remove from heat and allow to cool for 5 minutes.
- Transfer tomatillos and chiles to a blender along with juices on baking sheet. Add cilantro sprigs, then blend to a coarse purée.
- Heat oil over medium heat in a large, wide casserole or saucepan and add onion. Cook, stirring often, until tender, 5 to 8 minutes. Add a little salt, stir in garlic and cook, stirring, until fragrant, about 1 minute.
- Turn heat to medium-high and add tomatillo purée. Cook, stirring often, until salsa thickens and leaves a canal when you run a wooden spoon down the middle. Add broth, bring to a simmer, and simmer 10 minutes or until salsa coats the back of a spoon.
- Beat eggs in a bowl and season with a little salt. Turn heat to low and stir eggs into salsa. Add chopped cilantro and stir until eggs are set. Mixture should be creamy.
- Stir in tortilla chips, making sure they are completely submerged, and remove from heat. Sprinkle with crumbled cheese and serve at once.

Tips:
- Use day-old corn tortillas for the best texture.
- If you don't have day-old tortillas, you can toast them in the oven or on a comal.
- Use a good quality salsa. A homemade salsa is always best, but a store-bought salsa will work in a pinch.
- Don't be afraid to add other ingredients to your chilaquiles. Some popular additions include beans, corn, and avocado.
- Serve chilaquiles with a dollop of sour cream, guacamole, and pico de gallo.
Conclusion:
Chilaquiles are a delicious and versatile dish that can be enjoyed for breakfast, lunch, or dinner. They are easy to make and can be customized to your own liking. So next time you're looking for a quick and easy meal, give chilaquiles a try.
