Cooking techniques

Simmering the sauce allows the flavors to meld beautifully, creating a rich base for the chips. The folding technique ensures every chip is coated!

Variations or substitutions

Feel free to replace the tomatillo salsa with your favorite salsa or even a homemade version. You can also try different toppings like black beans or grilled veggies!

Storage tips

Chilaquiles are best enjoyed fresh, but you can store leftovers in an airtight container in the fridge for up to 2 days. Reheat gently to maintain chip texture.

Notes

For a vegan version, substitute eggs with tofu scramble and use dairy-free crema!
