Traditional Mexican Chilaquiles

Traditional Mexican Chilaquiles

A straightforward recipe for genuine Mexican Chilaquiles Rojos—a delicious Mexican breakfast featuring salsa-soaked tortilla chips and scrambled eggs that can be prepared in less than an hour. Vegan-friendly.

Much has been discussed regarding the so-called "family meals" offered in some of the nation’s renowned restaurants.

Numerous articles and cookbooks focused on this topic depict an idealized scene of a cheerful group of wait staff and cooks gathering to enjoy a lovingly prepared meal together.

I would contend that a more accurate depiction involves whatever ingredients are nearing their expiration in the walk-in, combined with anything else that needs to be utilized, hastily assembled, heated, and laid out in hotel pans for anyone wishing to eat while they complete table settings or prepare for dinner.

Throughout my years as a restaurant chef, I have encountered everything from boiled chicken (and I mean just that—chicken boiled in water, with no additional ingredients) to frozen corn dogs and fries.

However, there are exceptions to this norm. I once collaborated with a determined woman who was primarily focused on what she would prepare for the family meal. And her dishes were delightful: finger-sized taquitos filled with chicken, fried rice enhanced with bits of smoky bacon and sweet English peas. Occasionally, she would express her frustration about having to constantly prepare food for everyone, and someone else would offer to help.

She would then spend the entire meal constructively critiquing the contributions. "Did you forget to wash the lettuce?" she would remark, flicking specks of black pepper off each leaf as if it were dirt.

Then there was Javier (better known by his place of origin: Oaxaca). Javier was an indefatigable bundle of energy who, even after flipping sauté pans at a rapid pace all night, would inevitably begin filling the grill with peppers and the fry baskets with freshly cut wedges of corn tortillas once the service started to slow down.

Prior to my encounter with Javier, I had never experienced Chilaquiles Mexicanos.

Depending on his mood, they could be extremely spicy or alternatively, smoky and filled with grilled chicken.

I had always regarded this combination of freshly-fried tortilla chips drenched in dried chile and charred tomato sauce as a dinner dish, garnished with diced sweet onion and generous spoonfuls of sour cream.

However, I discovered that this is a Mexican dish that is more commonly consumed at breakfast, often accompanied by one or two scrambled eggs. I have included scrambled eggs in the recipe below, but if you prefer to omit them and substitute with shredded chicken, or if you wish to exclude both to create a vegan-friendly option, feel free to follow your cravings.

Ingredients for This Chilaquiles Recipe

• Dried ancho chiles or guajillo chiles
• Ripe tomatoes
• White onion
• Jalapeños
• Cilantro
• Kosher salt
• Vegetable oil
• Corn tortillas
• Large eggs
• Lime
• Minced white onion, chopped cilantro, sour cream, crumbled queso fresco, lime wedges, for garnish

How to Make Chilaquiles

To begin, you can either fry your own tortilla chips or opt for store-bought ones, and the same applies to the red sauce. If you prefer to use your favorite store-bought enchilada sauce, that is perfectly acceptable. Here’s the step-by-step guide:

Step One

Prepare the salsa first. It can even be made a few days ahead of time, as it stores well in the refrigerator for up to a week.

Step Two

Fry the tortillas. Slice the corn tortillas into wedges and fry them in a large skillet over medium heat. This process takes approximately 15 minutes in total.

Step Three

Now, combine! Mix the fried tortillas with scrambled eggs and cook for 5 minutes or until heated through. Alternatively, you can skip the scrambled eggs and instead top with a fried egg.

Step Four

Serve. Add all the toppings you desire! For me, queso fresco is essential. Serve alongside refried beans.
