Chilaquiles Rojos
Fried tortilla chips simmered in red salsa until just softened, topped with fried eggs, crema, and queso fresco.
Why It Works
The starch from the tortillas thickens the salsa while the chips retain some crunch in the center; the contrast of crispy, saucy, and creamy textures is deeply satisfying.
