Mexican Breakfast Chilaquiles in cream (Encremadas)

heavy cream

🥗Healthier: Greek yogurt

💰Cheaper: milk + cornstarch

Greek yogurt reduces calories while maintaining creaminess

cooked chicken

🥗Healthier: tofu

💰Cheaper: canned beans

Tofu offers a plant-based option, while canned beans are budget-friendly.

cheese

🥗Healthier: nutritional yeast

💰Cheaper: processed cheese

Nutritional yeast is dairy-free and adds a cheesy flavor.

green salsa

🥗Healthier: homemade salsa verde

💰Cheaper: store-bought salsa

Homemade salsa can be fresher and healthier.

Fry the tortillas in oil until crispy and golden.

Prepare the white sauce by combining heavy whipping cream, sour cream, cotija cheese, butter, chicken bouillon, onion powder, garlic powder, white pepper, and ground cumin in a pan over medium heat until well mixed and heated through.

If using, add the roasted green chili to the sauce and mix well.

Layer the crispy tortillas on a serving platter and pour the white sauce over them.

Serve immediately with additional toppings like eggs, chopped green onion, or more cheese.
