Ingredients for Chilaquiles II

2 cups oil for frying
1/4 cup chopped onion
30 (6 inch) corn tortillas, torn into strips
6 eggs, lightly beaten
2 teaspoons salt
1 (7.75 ounce) can Mexican style hot tomato sauce
1/2 cup water
1/2 cup your favourite shredded soft cheese - like mozzarella

Method for Chilaquiles II

In a large, heavy frying pan, heat the oil to 350 degrees F (175 degrees C). Carefully stir in the onion and tortilla strips. Fry until tortilla strips are crisp and golden brown. Remove from heat, and drain on paper towels. Drain the skillet, leaving only a thin residue of oil.
Over medium heat, return tortillas to the skillet, and stir in the eggs. Season with salt. Cook and stir until eggs are firm.
Mix Mexican style hot tomato sauce and water into the skillet. Reduce heat, and simmer until thickened, about 10 minutes. Top with cheese. Continue cooking until cheese has melted. Serve with your favourite table wine and enjoy your Chilaquiles II.
