Stacked enchiladas with fried egg · Albuquerque
Three corn tortillas layered with cheese, chile and onion, baked or pan crisped, then crowned with a fried egg. The defining New Mexican enchilada style, not rolled.
While Mexican enchiladas are typically rolled, the New Mexican stacked style emerged in the early 1900s as a home cooking shortcut: layer rather than roll. The fried egg crown became canonical at heritage New Mexican counters across Albuquerque. Sadie's, El Pinto and Mary and Tito's all serve them this way.
