    Heat oil for the chilaquiles in a deep pot or Dutch oven to 350 degrees F. Gently fry tortillas, one at a time, for 1 minute on each side until golden. Drain on a paper towel lined cooling rack. Sprinkle with salt.
    Alternatively, you can toast the tortillas in a 375 degree F oven for 10 -15 minutes.
    Prepare eggs to order - either poached, fried, sunny-side up, or scrambled.
    To serve: Place 1 tortilla on a plate and top with about 1/4 cup red sauce. Sprinkle with cheese and add a dollop of sour cream. Stack second tortilla on top, add some more sauce, cheese and sour cream and top with the egg.
