Chicken Chilaquiles is a flavorful Mexican dish that combines crispy tortilla chips simmered in a savory sauce, typically red or green, and topped with tender shredded chicken. Garnished with ingredients like crumbled queso fresco, diced onions, fresh cilantro, and a drizzle of crema, it’s often served with a fried egg or avocado slices for added richness. Chilaquiles is rooted in traditional Mexican cuisine and offers a satisfying balance of protein from the chicken and healthy fats from avocado and cheese. However, it can be calorie-dense due to the fried tortilla chips, crema, and other toppings, so portion control is key. For a healthier version, baked tortilla chips and light crema can be used. Packed with bold, comforting flavors, this dish showcases the vibrant culinary heritage of Mexico while remaining customizable to suit dietary needs.
