About Chilaquiles

Chilaquiles are a traditional Mexican dish often enjoyed as a hearty breakfast or brunch. The base consists of fried corn tortilla pieces simmered in a flavorful salsa—either red or green—until slightly softened. This dish is typically topped with ingredients like shredded chicken, eggs, crema (Mexican sour cream), queso fresco, avocado slices, and sometimes refried beans. It offers a balance of textures and rich flavors. While chilaquiles can be a good source of protein from chicken or eggs and fiber from beans and tortillas, the dish's healthiness depends on preparation. Fried tortillas and crema can contribute significant fats and calories, and high sodium levels in packaged salsa may be a concern. Healthier versions use baked tortilla chips, fresh salsa, and lighter toppings, making it a delicious way to incorporate essential nutrients with reduced fat content. Always customizable, chilaquiles remain a beloved staple with endless possibilities.
