- 4 large Eggs (room temperature)
- 1 cup Shredded Mexican Cheese Blend (such as cheddar‑Monterey Jack mix)
- 1 cup Cooked Shredded Chicken (optional, can use rotisserie chicken)
- 4 Large Flour Tortillas (10‑inch, warmed)
- 0.25 cup Fresh Cilantro (chopped)

- 4 Lime (cut into wedges)
- 2 tablespoons Olive Oil (extra‑virgin preferred)
- 0.5 teaspoon Salt

Instructions
Heat Oil and Toast Chips
Add olive oil to a large skillet over medium heat. When shimmering, add the corn tortilla chips and stir for 30 seconds to coat.
Time: PT2M
Combine Chips with Salsa
Pour the red salsa over the toasted chips, stirring gently to coat. Cook for 3‑4 minutes until the chips soften slightly but retain some crunch.

Scramble the Eggs
Push the chip‑salsa mixture to one side of the skillet. Crack the eggs into the empty side, season with salt and pepper, and scramble until just set (still slightly soft).
Time: PT5M
Combine Everything
Fold the scrambled eggs into the chip‑salsa mixture, add shredded cheese and cooked chicken (if using), and stir until the cheese begins to melt.
Time: PT3M
Warm the Flour Tortillas
While the filling is finishing, warm each flour tortilla in a clean skillet for 15‑20 seconds per side or microwave for 20 seconds, covered with a damp paper towel.
Time: PT3M
Assemble the Burritos
Lay a warm tortilla flat, spoon a generous portion of the chilaquiles mixture down the center, top with sliced avocado, a dollop of sour cream, chopped cilantro, and a lime wedge. Fold the sides and roll tightly.
Time: PT5M
Optional Quick Crisp
Place the assembled burritos seam‑side down in the skillet over medium heat for 1‑2 minutes to lightly crisp the outside.
