Chilaquiles Verdes

Cultural Context

Chilaquiles originated in Mexico as a way to use up stale tortillas, often served for breakfast or brunch. The dish is a beloved comfort food, typically featuring crispy tortilla chips smothered in green salsa, topped with various ingredients like chicken, cheese, and avocado. Today, chilaquiles have gained popularity beyond Mexico, with variations appearing in many Latin American and Tex-Mex restaurants worldwide.
