Tips:

  • Choose the right tortillas: Corn tortillas are the traditional choice for chilaquiles, but you can also use flour tortillas if you prefer. If you're using corn tortillas, be sure to fry them until they're crispy.
  • Make your own salsa verde: It's easy to make your own salsa verde, and it will taste much fresher than store-bought salsa. You can find a recipe for salsa verde in the article.
  • Don't overcrowd the pan: When you're frying the tortillas, don't overcrowd the pan or they won't get crispy. Fry them in batches if necessary.
  • Use a good quality cheese: The cheese you use for chilaquiles is important. Use a cheese that melts well and has a good flavor. Queso Oaxaca or mozzarella are both good choices.
  • Serve chilaquiles with your favorite toppings: Chilaquiles are traditionally served with a fried egg on top, but you can also add other toppings such as avocado, sour cream, or salsa.

Conclusion:

Chilaquiles are a delicious and versatile dish that can be enjoyed for breakfast, lunch, or dinner. They're easy to make and can be tailored to your own taste preferences. So next time you're looking for a quick and easy meal, give chilaquiles a try!
