Step 1
Heat 2 tbsp oil in a 12-inch skillet over medium-high heat until shimmering, about 90 seconds.
Step 2
Add ground beef, breaking up with a spoon as it browns, until no pink remains, about 6 minutes.
Step 3
Add diced onion and jalapeño, stir for 1 minute until fragrant.
Step 4
Pour in salsa verde and stir. Add tortilla chips and toss quickly until chips are coated but still have some crunch, about 2 minutes.
Step 5
Push chips to the edges, crack both eggs into the center, cover, and cook until whites set but yolks jiggle, about 3 minutes.
Step 6
Top with cotija cheese and squeeze lime over everything. Serve immediately straight from the skillet.
