Chilaquiles is THE classic Mexican breakfast dish. Crispy tortilla chips are simmered in salsa (I'm using salsa verde), then topped with fresh, savory ingredients that make every bite so satisfying.
Every time I visit Mexico, I always order either chilaquiles or huevos rancheros for breakfast. They're my go-to's! But when it comes to chilaquiles, I just love the way the crispy tortilla chips gently soak up the salsa verde. And the simple toppings like queso fresco, sliced onions, cilantro, oozy fried eggs, and a creamy Mexican crema really tie the whole dish together. Of course, enjoying this dish beachside on vacation in Mexico would be my first choice (obviously). But a close second is making it at home in my kitchen!
