Chilaquiles

Instructions
Prep:20minCook:15min
Chilaquiles is a traditional Mexican breakfast dish. The word chilaquiles comes from the Nahuatl language, meaning chilis and greens. A traditional dish served in Mexico, the recipe hit the United States in 1898 when featured in The Spanish Cookbook, by Encarnación Pinedo. It's a way of using up old stale Tortillas and left over salsa. The beauty of chilaquiles is they are completely customizable. Serve with a scrambled ,fried egg on top, or with cheese, shredded chicken, refried bean or roasted veggies — the options are endless. Because it’s so versatile, this dish is the perfect opportunity to use up any leftovers found in the fridge. The dish can be adapted for Vegans, Vegetarians or meat eaters alike. I suggest using Salsa Verde (green salsa) with chicken and Salsa Rioja (red salsa) with beef. I used Old El Paso Street Food Corn Tortillas. Old stale tortillas crisps are a good substitute.
