📝 Preparation Steps
1
In a large cast-iron skillet, heat ½ cup of oil over medium heat until 375°F and shimmering. Working in batches if necessary, carefully drop the tortilla pieces into the hot oil and fry, turning them halfway through with tongs, until crisp but not yet browned, 1 to 1 1/⏱️ 2 minutes. Remove the tortillas to a paper towel-lined plate to drain. Sprinkle with salt to taste and set aside.
2
Wipe the skillet clean. Pour the salsa and chicken broth into the clean skillet and heat over medium heat until simmering. Add the chips and stir gently to coat.

Meanwhile, in a medium nonstick skillet, heat the remaining ¼ cup of oil over medium heat. Add half the eggs, one at a time. Sprinkle with salt and pepper, to taste. Once the eggs begin to turn white, use a small spoon to carefully spoon the hot oil over only the whites of the eggs (avoiding the yolks). This will help the whites cook slowly so the top will set but still look pretty. After 1 to ⏱️ 2 minutes of cooking, once the whites are no longer jiggly and loose, carefully spoon the oil over the yolks. Continue spooning the oil over the eggs until they appear to be the doneness you want.
