Ingredients

3 extra thin Mission corn tortillas
1/4 cup Trader Joes Bottled Red Enchilada Sauce 60g, or your favorite sauce
1/4 cup precooked chicken shredded 50g, I used leftover Instant Pot Smokey Honey Cilantro Chicken
1 runny fried egg
1/4 small avocado 20g
1 tsp. cotija (7g) 7g
2 tsp. red onion 10g
1 Tbsp. cilantro and/or green onion 5g

Instructions

Preheat oven to 425℉.
Cut tortillas into triangles or strips and lay out on a baking sheet. Spray with cooking spray and sprinkle with kosher salt. Bake for 5-7 minutes or until brown on edges and crispy. You might want to flip half way through.
Fry your egg and set aside.
In the same skillet, heat chicken for a minute, then add sauce and chips and toss around to coat them all.
Top with fried egg, avocado, onions, cilantro, and cotija.
Of course, you could always add: beans, sour cream, next time I'll add my favorite chipotle cream (don't know how I didn't!) And you can EASILY up the protein by piling on the chicken or adding an extra fried egg white!

If you'd like to use my favorite Cut Da Carb wraps to make the chips instead, this will cut off 10 carbs, 1 fat, and add 1 protein. If you make it that way, search "Lillie Eats and Tells Cut Da Carb Chilaquiles"
If you use something different and want to try and account for the difference, just know the three extra thin mission tortillas account for 120 cal, 24 carbs, 1.5 fat, and 3 protein.
