Instructions
Make verde sauce.
-
Prep your tomatillos, onion, garlic, and jalapeños and preheat griddle to medium heat.
-
Add ingredients to griddle and squirt on water - immediately cover to steam. After approximately 5 minutes, uncover, turn ingredients over, add water and re-cover. Once tomatillos are soft, remove all items and put them in a bowl. Turn griddle to low on one side and high on the other.

In a large pan on the high heat side of the griddle, add about 1 inch of oil and heat to approximately 350 degrees.
-
Take steamed ingredients and blend together with cilantro, salt, and lime juice. Set sauce aside.
Make chips.

Once oil is hot enough, add tortillas pieces and fry to make chips. Remove when fried to a paper towel lined dish. Remove pan from griddle top and lower heat to low.
Combine sauce and chips to complete dish.

Cook eggs and season as desired. While frying eggs, on the other side of the griddle, add chips and pour sauce over them. Gently toss with spatulas to cover chips with sauce. Sprinkle on half of the cotija cheese and toss to mix.
