  • 1 tablespoon Butter
  • 1 ounce Poblano Chiles roasted, peeled, seeded, diced 1/2-inch
  • 1/2 ounce Roma Tomatoes diced 1/4-inch
  • 1/2 tablespoon Cilantro Leaves
  • 1 tablespoon Green Onions sliced thin
  • 1/4 teaspoon Coarse Salt to taste
  • 1/8 teaspoon freshly ground Black Pepper to taste

  • 1/2 ounces Roma Tomatoes diced 1/4-inch
  • 1 tablespoon Green Onions sliced thin
  • 1 tablespoon Cilantro Leaves
  • 1/4 ounces Parmesan Cheese grated
  • 1 tablespoon Sour Cream

Instructions

  • Dredge pieces of braised pork into flour, shaking off any excess.
  • Place canola oil in a large non-stick sauté pan. Place over medium-high heat.
  • Place floured pork into pan and pan fry until golden brown and crispy, turning frequently to avoid burning, about 2 minutes.
  • Remove and transfer to a plate lined with a paper towel. When cooled slightly to the touch, pull or cut pork into walnut-sized pieces. Set aside and keep warm.
  • Place salsa verde in a small non-stick sauté pan.
  • Place on stove and warm over medium heat.
  • Pour 1/2 of the sauce into a small bowl and reserve warm.
  • Crush (by hand) the tortilla chips (9 for each serving - 18 total if making recipe as written for 2 servings) into 1-1/2 to 2-inch pieces.
  • Place in the small non-stick sauté pan with the salsa verde. Gently mix together until chips are evenly coated and thoroughly heated through, about 2 minutes on medium heat.
  • Place 9 Tortilla Chips into the center of a bowl for each serving (2 bowls if making recipe as written for 2 servings). Set aside.
  • Heat butter to a light sizzle in a large non-stick pan set over medium-high heat.
  • Carefully add roasted pork, roasted poblano chiles, roma tomatoes, cilantro leaves and green onions into the pan, tossing to incorporate.
  • Season with salt and pepper, to taste.
  • Cook, stirring, until thoroughly heated through.
  • Add beaten eggs into the pan, stirring to incorporate. Cook until the eggs are lightly scrambled and still very runny on top and around the edges.
  • Sprinkle the grated Parmesan cheese into the eggs.
  • Add the hand-crushed Tortilla Chip/Salsa Verde mix into the pan, folding quickly to incorporate.

Plate and Garnish

  • Layer egg mix into bowls with chips, mounding it as high as possible on top of the chips.
  • Ladle remaining Salsa Verde over the egg mix and around the ingredients, covering the open areas within the rim of the bowl.
  • Place tortilla chips (6 each bowl) onto the egg mix, allowing some to fall onto the bowl.
  • Sprinkle roma tomatoes, green onions, cilantro leaves and grated Parmesan cheese evenly over chilaquiles and chips.
  • Dollop sour cream centered on top of Chilaquiles.
  • Serve.
