Chilaquiles is a traditional Mexican dish made primarily from fried corn tortillas that are cut into small pieces and cooked in a sauce, typically made from tomatoes or green chilies. The tortillas absorb the sauce, becoming soft while still retaining some texture. Chilaquiles are often topped with ingredients like cheese, sour cream, and onions, and can be served with a side of eggs or beans.
This dish is commonly enjoyed for breakfast or brunch and is known for its versatility. Different regions in Mexico may have their own variations, using different sauces or toppings. Chilaquiles are a popular way to use up leftover tortillas and can be customized to suit individual tastes.
