Instructions
Heat the salsa verde in a large skillet over medium heat until simmering. Add the tortilla chips and toss to coat. Cook for 2-3 minutes until the chips soften slightly on the edges but still have some crunch in the center.
Tip: Don't let the chips sit too long in the salsa or they'll turn completely soggy. You want that contrast between soft and crispy.
In a separate small skillet, fry the eggs in vegetable oil over medium heat until the whites are set and the edges are crispy, about 3 minutes.
Divide the saucy chips between plates. Top each with a fried egg, drizzle of crema, crumbled queso fresco, avocado slices, sliced onion, and cilantro. Serve immediately.
