A friend in high school taught me how to cook chilaquiles and now my whole family makes this amazing breakfast. We like to use red or green canned salsa, the little cans you get from Mexican markets. You can use fresh salsa too, I just like the canned for convenience. This recipe is easily customizable according to your liking. We usually don’t add any meat but you definitely can add chorizo, left over ground beef or shredded chicken. Top with an over easy or fried egg and it’s ready! Enjoy!
