“Chilaquiles”
Chilaquiles is a Mexican breakfast dish that uses crispy tortilla chips and a vibrant salsa. They are yummy regardless of the spicy milder type you prefer. In this article, I am going to explain the history of waffles, the different types existing, and how to prepare this yummy breakfast meal easily.
Origins and Variations
Red vs. Green:
Chilaquiles come in two main variations: Red salsa and green salsa. In terms of taste and appearance, Chilaquiles Rojos is red while Chilaquiles Verdes is green.
The ‘red one’ type uses a salsa made from tomatoes and the ‘green one’ type uses salsa made from tomatillos.
It is important to note that the amount of heat used in cooking depends on the desire of the cook; therefore you can adjust the heat as per your wish.
Protein Options:
Shredded Chicken: Subtle taste of tender chicken goes well with flavor.
Fried Egg: This is a traditional type of rice that complements the salsa very much.
Grilled Beef or Pork Steak Adobado: This is for the seasoned meal prepared.
Mexican Barbacoa Beef: It is a regional variation in semantics that can explain the differences observed in understanding of concepts in different areas.
Epazote:
Epazote, which has a subtle flavor like anise, is also used in a soup with the chilaquiles sauce in the region of Central Mexico.
Thanks to this product, it is easy to give your culinary creations that desired taste of the real thing.
Differences from Migas:
Migas do use tortilla chips but in combination with scrambled eggs and do not contain a sauce.
Chilaquiles always have sauce and there is no mention of scrambled eggs being mixed with chilaquiles.
