Method
- 1
Heat 2 tbsp of the oil in a frying pan over a medium heat. Fry the tortilla triangles in batches for 3 minutes, turning, until crisp and golden. Drain on kitchen paper.
3 min - 2
Wipe out the pan, add the salsa verde and water and bring to a simmer for 3 minutes.
3 min - 3
Tip the crisp tortillas into the salsa and toss for 1 minute, so they soften at the edges but keep some bite.
1 min - 4
In a second pan, heat the remaining oil and fry the eggs for 3 minutes until the whites are set and the yolks still soft.
3 min - 5
Divide the chilaquiles between two plates. Top with the eggs, feta, red onion and coriander, and serve with lime.
