About Chiliquilas

Chilaquiles are a traditional Mexican dish often enjoyed at breakfast or brunch. It consists of fried corn tortilla pieces simmered in a flavorful sauce, typically red or green salsa, and topped with ingredients like shredded chicken, cheese, sour cream, and sliced onions. Sometimes it’s served with a fried egg or refried beans on the side. Rich in carbohydrates from the tortillas, chilaquiles provide energy, while the fresh salsa offers vitamins, antioxidants, and a kick of spice. Protein can be added through chicken or eggs, balancing the dish nutritionally. However, the dish can also be calorie-heavy and high in sodium, especially when loaded with cheese and sour cream or made with store-bought sauces. It’s best to enjoy chilaquiles in moderation or opt for healthier versions by baking the tortillas and using lighter toppings. This indulgent yet versatile dish highlights the vibrant flavors of Mexican cuisine.
