Guatemalan Chilaquilas

A Guatemalan breakfast dish, and a spin on quesadillas.
Prep Time 10 minutes
Cook Time 15 minutes
Total Time 25 minutes
Servings 4 2 Chilaquilas per person

Ingredients
  

  • 2 large eggs Egg whites divided
  • 1 teaspoon Salt
  • 8 corn tortillas
  • 1 package queso fresco sliced
  • 2 tbs grapeseed oil

Instructions
 

  • Begin by dividing egg whites from yolk and beating the egg whites with a hand mixer on high for about three minutes. Mixture should be white, with peaks forming, and somewhat stiff
  • Once egg whites have been fluffed, add egg yolk and beat until combined. Season with a pinch of salt.
  • Dip quesadilla in egg mixture and coat on both sides.
  • Coat a pan with oil of your choice, I used 2 TBS of grapeseed oil, and heat over medium high. Add Chilaquila to the hot oil and fry on both sides until slightly browned. This should take about 3 minutes.
  • Serve with tomato salsa and sides. We love to have this with black beans, a fried egg and some greens. Enjoy!
