Interesting Chilaquiles Recipe

Chilaquiles are a traditional Mexican dish. Similar to migas, they were first made as a way to use up stale tortillas. They consist of fried tortillas cooked in a flavorful sauce, typically salsa verde or salsa roja. You can top chilaquiles with eggs and serve them for breakfast or brunch, like I do here, but the toppings can also vary. Crema, onions, and cheese are common, and some versions feature beans or a meat like shredded chicken, beef, or pork. Depending on what toppings you use, chilaquiles can easily transcend breakfast to pass for lunch or dinner. Mexican recipes are really exciting and special so you have to cook one in your life. Maybe this one could be a fantastic choice. It’s pretty easy with a basic cooking level as well. So you must try.
