The chilaquiles dish is a traditional recipe from Mexico. It is the perfect bite to serve for a hearty breakfast or brunch and even for lunch or dinner.
Ingredients:
- 4cups of totopos or corn chips preferably homemade
- 4cups of mole Mayanshul
- 1/2purple onion sliced in rounds
- 1 cupof Crema Mexicana
- 1cup of Queso Fresco
- 1/2avocado sliced
- 1small bunch of cilantro for garnishing
Instructions:
- Cook the totopos using corn tortillas from the prior day. Cut them in triangles and deep fry until golden brown.
- Prepare the mole and keep it warm. Prep the onions and crumble the cheese.
- Build the chilaquiles by making a bed with homemade totopos, then add the mole, the onions, crumble ranchero queso fresco and crema Mexicana.
- Add mole Mayanshul, cheese, and crumbled cheese. Garnish with avocado slices and cilantro leaves.
- Optional: You can add a pair of fried egg above the chilaquiles.
Notes:
- Using store-bought chips it is not recommended for this dish. Because they are thin and when soaked in the sauce they will become mushy and will not be crunchy, a texture that is a must-have in order to be perfect chilaquiles.
- If you prefer to not fry the totopos, those can be toasted in the oven using oil spray.
- Add salt and pepper to taste.
