Step-by-Step Instructions

1
Preheat the oven to 400°F (200°C). Cut the corn tortillas into quarters and bake for 10-15 minutes, or until crispy and golden brown.
2
In a blender or food processor, combine the tomatillos, onion, garlic, jalapeño pepper, cilantro, lime juice, salt, and black pepper. Blend until smooth and adjust the seasoning as needed.
3
In a large skillet, heat the tomatillo sauce over medium heat. Add the crispy tortilla chips and stir to coat with the sauce. Cook for 2-3 minutes, or until the tortilla chips are well coated and the sauce is heated through.
4
To serve, place a portion of the Chilaquiles Verde on a plate and top with a dollop of sour cream, a sprinkle of queso fresco, and a sprinkle of cilantro. Serve with a side of warm tortillas, refried beans, or Mexican street corn, if desired.
