🇲🇽 Mexico recipe
Chilaquiles Rojos
Chilaquiles are the ultimate Mexican breakfast comfort food and the most beloved way to use leftover tortillas. Day-old corn tortillas are cut into triangles and fried until golden and crispy, then bathed in a vibrant red salsa made from tomatoes and dried chiles. The magic happens as the chips soften just enough to absorb the sauce while retaining a slight crunch in the center. Topped with crema, crumbled queso fresco, sliced onion, and a fried egg, chilaquiles are a dish that transforms humble ingredients into something extraordinary.
