notes

TODO: make separate link for salsa verde; you can double or triple the recipe for salsa and save hella time

directions

make the salsa verde like one does (could see this salsa recipe for an example) -- feel free to play aroud w/ the ingredients or what you cook and what you don't. I cook all the veggies on the comal except a couple cloves of garlic, and usually blend in the onion/cilantro.

make tortilla chips (frying, air fryer) or use some you have (stale works great)

shred oaxacan cheese (however much or little you want)

dice onions or make strips, and cook in oil until translucent

in separate pan go ahead and cook the eggs how you want, mayhap w/ a bit of salsa verde

simultaneously cook the rest of the salsa verde for a bit w/ the onions, then add chips, oaxan cheese, cover for a lil bit to melt the top

if you wish, transfer to plate then top w/ eggs, queso fresco, avocado, crema, cilantro -- as little or much as you want

enjoy!!
