About Chilaquiles rojos

Chilaquiles Rojos is a traditional Mexican breakfast dish made with tortilla chips simmered in a red chili sauce, often topped with a variety of garnishes like shredded chicken, crumbled cheese, sliced onions, cilantro, and a drizzle of sour cream. The sauce, typically prepared with tomatoes, chili peppers, garlic, and spices, gives the dish its signature flavor. Rich in fiber and antioxidants from the tomatoes and chilies, Chilaquiles Rojos can offer some nutritional benefits. However, the dish's healthiness largely depends on preparation; baked tortilla chips and moderate portions of cheese or sour cream can make it a lighter option. Conversely, frying the chips and adding excessive toppings may increase its fat and calorie content. A versatile and comforting dish, it highlights the bold and vibrant flavors of Mexican cuisine while allowing for potential adaptations to fit different dietary preferences.
