Empire’s Treasure® Crab Chilaquiles

Directions

  1. Preheat oven to 400°F.
  2. Heat canola oil in deep fryer to 350°F, fry the tortillas until they are golden brown and crispy. Remove from oil and place on a towel to absorb excess oil. Transfer the tortillas to a sheet pan lined with a rack or paper towels and season lightly with salt.
  3. Heat the ranchero sauce in a saucepan over medium heat, until it just starts to simmer. Submerge the tortillas in the sauce and place onto a baking sheet lined with parchment paper.
  4. Top with crab, one tablespoon of diced green onion and a little Cotija cheese. Place tray in oven and bake for 5-7 minutes until the tortillas are softened and the cheese has started to melt. (the temperature is already stated in step 1)
  5. Warm 1 tablespoon of butter flavored oil in a sauté pan over medium heat. Crack the eggs into a bowl and slide them gently into the sauté pan. Cook the eggs gently until sunny side up.
  6. Remove the tortilla tray from the oven and transfer the food to a plate.
  7. Spoon a little of the ranchero sauce on top of the tortillas and around the plate. Place the eggs on top of the tortilla stack and garnish with a dollop of guacamole, queso fresco, pickled onion, green onion, jalapeno, and cilantro. Serve immediately.
