The place have these crimson chilaquiles been all my life? Chilaquiles (pronounced chee-lah-key-less) are a conventional Mexican breakfast made with tortilla chips simmered in sauce. Usually, they’re made with inexperienced salsa (in Spanish, salsa verde, which yields chilaquiles verdes) or crimson enchilada sauce (chilaquiles rojos).
I really like how the chips take in a few of the sauce and develop into a bit of tender. Recent toppings, together with cilantro, radish or onion, crumbled cheese and oftentimes, fried eggs, make this chip-based dish extra of a whole meal. This easy recipe is just not one hundred pc genuine, however I consider it’ll fulfill your chilaquiles cravings.
In terms of chilaquiles, the sauce is all the things. I’ve already perfected my chilaquiles verdes recipe with do-it-yourself salsa verde. I lastly tried making chilaquiles with my favourite do-it-yourself enchilada sauce, and holy smokes, I’ve been lacking out!

Chilaquiles Rojos Components
Let’s break this chilaquiles recipe down into three components:
1) Enchilada sauce
Sauce kinds the spine of taste in chilaquiles, so you want to use an incredible one. I’m a giant believer in my go-to crimson enchilada sauce recipe, so I’ve integrated it into the recipe beneath. My crimson sauce is filled with wealthy, long-simmered, chili-pepper taste, but it’s really easy to make in a giant skillet earlier than including the chips.
If you wish to use your personal crimson enchilada sauce recipe, or a store-bought possibility (Frontera model is the one semi-decent possibility I’ve discovered), you’ll want 2 cups.

Selfmade Tortilla Chips vs. Retailer-Purchased Tortilla Chips
Many chilaquiles recipes counsel frying your personal tortilla chips. Large pots of oil scare me, so I don’t deep-fry at house.
Baked tortilla chips work nice in chilaquiles, in order that’s one other nice possibility. As a bonus, baked chips don’t require almost as a lot oil. You’ll discover directions within the part beneath.
After I first experimented with chilaquiles, I used to be disenchanted by the outcomes with store-bought tortilla chips. Some manufacturers style oily or stale, and so they impart these flavors to the chilaquiles.
Nonetheless, I’ve since found a model of tortilla chips that I truly like in chilaquiles—Late July’s chia and quinoa selection. You’ll see these chips used on this put up.
The way to Bake Crispy Tortilla Chips
You’ll want 16 skinny corn tortillas, 2 tablespoons extra-virgin olive oil and 1/2 teaspoon salt. Right here’s how:
- Preheat the oven to 400 levels Fahrenheit with racks within the upper-middle and lower-middle positions. Line two massive baking sheets with parchment paper for straightforward clean-up. Brush either side of every tortilla frivolously with oil. Stack the tortillas, 4 without delay, and slice them into 8 wedges. Repeat with remaining tortillas. Divide the wedges between the 2 baking sheets and prepare them evenly throughout the pans (it’s okay if the chips overlap; they’ll shrink considerably as they bake). Sprinkle half the salt over one pan and half over the opposite.
- Bake, swapping the pans on their racks each 5 minutes, till the chips are curling up on the edges and a few are beginning to flip golden on the sides. This might take as little as 10 minutes. Regulate the highest rack particularly, as these have a tendency to complete baking first. When you see the chips on the highest rack flip golden on the sides, take away that pan and transfer the pan on the decrease rack as much as the highest. Bake till these chips begin turning golden on the sides, then take away from the oven.
To Add Eggs, or To not Add Eggs
That’s the query. In Mexico, chilaquiles don’t routinely include eggs. I ordered some epic inexperienced chilaquiles at Lardo in Mexico Metropolis, and I used to be shocked once they arrived with out eggs—I used to be speculated to request them!
Within the U.S., chilaquiles are virtually at all times served with fried eggs on high—and so they’re scrumptious. I really like serving my do-it-yourself chilaquiles with olive oil fried eggs, which develop essentially the most irresistible crispy edges.
I like including eggs to my chilaquiles as a result of they make them extra substantial. Scrambled or poached eggs are nice, too.
