Chilaquiles is a popular breakfast dish in Mexico, particularly on weekends when people have more time to cook and enjoy a leisurely meal.
It's also a traditional hangover cure, as many believe the spicy and savory flavors help to ease the effects of a night of drinking.
The history of chilaquiles dates back to the ancient Aztecs, who would fry leftover tortillas and then simmer them in a chili sauce.
The dish has evolved over time, and today there are many variations of chilaquiles, including red sauce, mole, and even breakfast chilaquiles with eggs.
Chilaquiles verdes is particularly popular in central and southern Mexico, where tomatillos are a common ingredient in cooking.
The tomatillo-based green salsa is tangy and slightly tart, which complements the crunchy tortilla chips and rich toppings perfectly.
If you've never tried chilaquiles verdes before, you're in for a treat! It's a flavorful and satisfying dish that's easy to make and sure to impress your friends and family.
