Chilaquiles are delicious, easy to make and perfect any time of day whether it be for breakfast, lunch or dinner. What I love the most about chilaquiles is that they can be made in different ways. You may have already prepared chilaquiles with chicken or shredded red meat, but have you ever tried chorizo chilaquiles? Red chilaquiles with chorizo combines two of my favorite breakfast dishes and it’s a unique and delicious recipe. I love adding one last touch to these chilaquiles to make them irresistible and for that I top them with a fried egg. MORE + LESS -
