The World in Breakfast Dishes

Chilaquiles – Mexico

This spicy dish is reminiscent of a nacho bowl. Fried and crushed corn tortillas make up the bottom of the dish and are topped with red or green salsa. Some people prefer it spicy while others are happy to have a mild variety – either way it’s quite a hearty dish.

Chilaquiles are also quite different from region to region. In some areas, this dish will come with pulled chicken, although the “standard” dish does not include any.

Served alongside the tortilla chips and salsa, you will usually find some scrambled eggs, beef strips, guacamole, or cheese. For those that haven’t had enough after the full English, refried beans are also a popular addition to this dish.
