Today we are sharing with you one of my favorite recipes ever, Easy Chilaquiles. The first time I tried it was in Mexico years ago. I remember sitting at breakfast with my family and seeing a server walk past me with a big plate of saucy tortilla chips with a fried egg on top.
I thought chips for breakfast was pretty incredible, so I ordered it and whoa! The freshly fried chips were slathered in a delicious green salsa, topped with salty queso fresco and finished with a perfectly fried egg. It was so simple, but unforgettable.
Chilaquiles is a traditional Mexican breakfast. It consists of fried tortilla chips lightly simmered in a red (roja) or green (verde) sauce. The red sauce variety typically uses dried chiles and the green sauce fresh tomatillos.
