- Prepare the Tortilla Chips:Drizzle the tortilla triangles with olive oil and sprinkle with salt, then place in the air fryer basket and cook at 350°F (175°C) for 6-8 minutes - shaking halfway through, until crispy and golden.
- Prepare the Red Sauce:Toast the guajillo chilies in a dry pan over medium heat for a couple of minutes until fragrant. In a pot, boil the tomatoes, garlic, onion, and chilies in water until the tomatoes soften (about 10 minutes). Blend the mixture with ½ cup chicken broth (or water) and salt until smooth.

- Optional Fried Eggs:Crack the eggs into an oven-safe dish and place in the air fryer. Cook for 4-5 minutes at 320°F (160°C) or until the eggs are cooked to your liking.
- Serve:Top the chilaquiles with shredded chicken, a dollop of sour cream, crumbled queso fresco, and thinly sliced red onion.Optionally, place the fried egg on top.
