If you've got both a camp stove and a grill, you're golden: Prep the salsa over the live fire, and make perfect eggs on the propane stove.

Recipe information

  • Yield

    4 Servings

Ingredients

2 tablespoons vegetable oil, plus more for grill
2 pounds tomatillos (about 20 medium), husks removed, rinsed
2 jalapeños
1 large white onion, quartered through root end
2 tablespoons fresh lime juice
Kosher salt, freshly ground pepper
4 large eggs
1 (15-ounce) can black beans, rinsed
1 (10-ounce) bag yellow corn tortilla chips
1/2 cup plain Greek yogurt
2 ounces ricotta salata (salted dry ricotta), crumbled
Hot sauce and cilantro leaves

Preparation

  1. Step 1

    Prepare campfire for medium-high heat; lightly oil grate. Grill tomatillos and jalapeños, turning occasionally, until lightly charred and beginning to collapse, 8–10 minutes; transfer to a cutting board.

    Step 2

    Meanwhile, grill onion, turning occasionally, until charred and beginning to soften, 10–12 minutes; transfer to cutting board with charred tomatillos and jalapeños.

    Step 3

    Finely chop tomatillos, chiles, and onion and transfer to a large skillet. Add lime juice and toss to combine; season salsa with salt and pepper. Set aside (keep in skillet).

    Step 4

    Heat 2 tablespoons oil in another large skillet on camp stove over medium-high. Crack eggs into skillet; season with salt and pepper. Cook, rotating skillet occasionally, until whites are golden brown and crisp at the edges and set around the yolk (which should still be runny), about 2 minutes.

    Step 5

    Heat reserved salsa on camp stove over medium just to warm through. Mix in black beans and tortilla chips and cook, tossing and adding up to 1/4 cup water if needed to loosen, until chips are just softened, about 3 minutes.

    Step 6

    Serve chilaquiles in skillet topped with eggs, dollops of yogurt, ricotta salata, hot sauce, and cilantro.
