The 5 minute Mexican breakfast everyone should know how to make.

Chilaquiles are quite literally soggy tortilla chips, but hot damn, are they soggy tortilla chips in all the right ways.

Mexican here: this is one of those dishes you can't do wrong if you stick to traditional Mexican ingredients. Adjust the proportions to your tastes in anyway you want, pick and choose the chillies, add some meat or chicken, make it fancy, make it sloppy, make it green with tomatillos and cilantro; it's going to work. If you want to develop a taste for Mexican food this is your blank template for experimentation and discovery.

That's a great basic salsa recipe. Nice!

[@kowladmc2125]

It is insane how polite and nice Mexican people are about your interpretation of their food in the comments. Compare that to videos with French or Italian dishes and the difference is immeasurable.

[@ChaosTherum]

I have noticed that, you also see it with a lot of asian dishes where it seems like they are happy to see different interpretations on it. I wonder if that comes down to French and Italian cuisine being a much bigger part of the outside world's view of the their cultures compared to Mexican, and Asian food.

[@MistaWordz]

@@ChaosTherum You think so? Most people in America have never even had French food. Everybody's had "Chinese" food and "Mexican" food. I put those in quotes because both cuisines have been Americanized like a mf. Real Chinese and Mexican food is a different story. You don't really see authentic Mexican or Chinese restaurants unless you're in a predominantly Chinese or Hispanic community. (I didn't single out Mexicans because they move around other Spanish speakers a lot, so you could potentially find authentic Mexican food even if they ain't the majority Hispanic population).

[@ChaosTherum]

@@MistaWordz I've actually heard that the whole Americanized comes food thing is a bit of a myth by some Chinese expats from what they said sure you'll get different ingredients but the styles and flavors are very similar to hunan regional cuisine, with the sweetness and heavy emphasis on large amounts of meat. And I was also more talking Asian in general including japan, vietnamese, and other the other south East asian cuisines

[@MistaWordz]

@@ChaosTherum Not really. In China, their food is generally a lot more vegetable based and the sauces being lighter, although you're right about different regions having different styles and flavors of food. Some of the most popular "Chinese" dishes like General Tso's Chicken were actually created in America though.

[@slaplapdog]

The French in particular have a system of cooking that is literally regimented, as in their kitchen culture came from their military culture. Because of that, its easier to point and proclaim "your doing it wrong!" In the US both Mexican and Chinese immigrants faced discrimination that forced them out of some kinds of work, but left restaurants as an option. Catering to others in a new land probably led to being flexible with ingredients and methods. I think Italians went through a similar process. Pizza is so incredibly popular, but it hardly resembles the original Italian version, and its such a small part of overalll Italian cuisine. I've only been to one restaurant that Italian, rather than a pizza joint, and everything I ate there was foreign to the point of being unpleasant, but that was my own personal problem.

[@botmexicanpatriot]

Mexican tip here: If you're too lazy to use a broiler/oven, just do something we call "tatemado", which is placing the veggies on a burning hot plain surface until it becames almost burned, trust me, it will develop a deep, smokey, intense flavour, or if you're extra lazy just cook the tomatoes in water, you can leave them there for long enough, no need to do the concassé cut. You can also do the same with them chiles, but if you want it less spicy just remove the seeds and the veins (i suggest that you use a blend of pasilla, guajillo and arbol)

Fun fact: chilaquiles were created when the tortillas were begining to expire and someone decided to fry the tortillas and bathe them in salsa inorder for the tortillas to not go to waste. Again, this happened a long time ago before there was a lot of food processing in México

scrambled eggs would work nicely also. and for those who cant handle spice go with a poblano instead of jalapeño. I also like to add a bay leaf while cooking the sauce for like 5 minutes before removing since i really like the flavor. usually i garnish with cubed up avocado and crema. finally you are right, the soggier version is better since you can easily eat it with silverware, while the crunchy one makes it harder.

I was using beef broth, tomatoes as liquid and had it all seasoned with chipotle chili powder, cumin, and garlic powder. The liquid left over from the shredded beef is actually amazing to use in the same way to soak the chips. I love both the salsa he makes with tomatoes and this new way I "discovered".

Ethan I have a question, a Mexican friend who is a chef told me the way to make sauces like these are "to really burn the tomatoes, like really burn them". I tried this and the taste is actually way better (I couldnt replicate this taste in an oven, only in the pan). What's the scientific reason for this?

[@carolinalomeli9128]

Not true, many people in Mexico roast the tomatoes, onions and chiles in the oven. It is all a matter of preference and convenience.

[@rileyk3588]

Maillard reaction

[@mr.fancycat6867]

I always charr/burn my ingredients when I make salsas. I prefer the taste as opposed to fresh or lightly charred. It gives it different elements of flavor.

[@alextenie]

I don't know if you'll get to read this comment, but this reminds me a lot of a Romanian dish called "tochitură". Yes, no tortilla chips, but it's basically polenta + some tomato sauce (my family adds hot pepper paste) with various types of meat inside (mostly pork and smoked sausages), a fried egg and some cheese on top (and here sadly it's stuck to a local cheese called "telemea" really similar to feta). I think that adding some smoked sausage on that fried egg would add some nice extra stuff on that chilaquiles. :D

It's true! I've eaten this in restaurants before, but there's no place around here that does that. Years later I ended up with some tortillas that were going stale, and realized that the time had finally come. Hey, what do you know? It's bachelor cooking, a few cheap ingredients, it's not hard to make, it wouldn't be easy to burn it, for example. I liked my "home" version better than the restaurant one! It's not that hard to fry those old tortillas. I fried them way too much the first time, and it still worked! This is about the cheapest thing you could make that would still be any good, and also could be vegetarian.

La neta, le quedaron buenos. Great how the video shows how great dishes can be done quickly, with little effort.

[@LuisssLopezzz22]

Looks amazing! Im mexican and chilaquiles are a breakfast my mom used to make a lot. You brought me some good memories!

[@rickfire7471]

Nobody: Ethan: Pickled onions ❤️

[@JuanPassiveMenis]

I would love to make this for my wife during lazy weekends. But she is too busy having sleepovers at her boyfriend's house.

[@packerfanbd1995]

Just made these thanks to this video. Thanks Ethan! Love the content bro, keep killing it 🔥

[@iarreolav]

I enjoy this guy's appreciation for mexican food

[@gunzalez507]

I was born in Mexico, Leon Guanajuato. I’m Mexican for real, lived there till I was 8 years old then went back when I was 13 and lived from 13 years old to 22 years old, All my family is Mexican so it makes me cringe when I see people adding lettuce and tomato to tacos or sour cream I know this isn’t a taco recipe but what I am trying to say is that you stay as traditional as possible and I appreciate that. Gracias Güero!

[@lilasophie2950]

Since Ethan uses alot of pickled Onions, it is time for the pickled Onions report: Yes there were pickled Onions in this video. This concludes the pickled Onions report.

Mmmmm, chilaquiles, one of my favorites! Thanks for the input on making the sauce seperate from the stock, great idea!

[@thomassutton4670]

I decided to give this recipe a try the night after this video came out. Since then I have eaten it multiple times a week (3-4 times) for different meals and in countless variations. It also pairs really well with the carnitas recipe he posted a video or two later. I looooove this recipe and adapting it to what ever I feel like that day!

[@Boomtendo4tw]

it’s corn flakes with tomato sauce

Dude i actually chuckled, you should try em

[@user-qk8lm3se7q]

so what's you saying is that's a cereal

[@pavelsanz4445]

Thats pretty much how a white person would do em, so yeah

[@Juan_Duran]

How is it the Mexican understands hes meme-ing......

[@sandstorm8874]

"you just top them with whatever you want"... I died. No, you don't! it's not nachos 😆😆 I mean you can, like you can do with everything, but then it becomes something else. Eggs, cheese (white) , chicken, cream and fresh onions are traditionally the options for toppers.

[@SingingSuperstar28]

I had made this and it was amazing! I've never had anything quite like it before. I had to adjust a few ingredients since they aren't available here but the recipe is incredibly forgiving in that sense. I'm definitely gonna be making it again

[@olgaolga8991]

Thank you for this recipe, will try

[@JosukeUrameshi]

Ethan didn’t ask to be born Latina, he just got lucky 😉

[@TheSlavChef]

Not a huge fan of mexican food, maybe it is quite distant for us SLAVS. But it reminds me a little bit about "Shakshuka"(as ingedients). Will totally give it a try, looks tasty as always, Ethan!

[@jerrycurl637]

Bomb! You've reminded me that it's been a while since I've made some chilaquiles for breakfast. I usually make the green ones, but these red ones look AMAZING, thank you for the extra tips!

[@JOHNfuknRAMBO]

Love your recipes and experiments Ethan! Keep 'em comin! 👌🏻

[@gustavodavila7192]

Next time use MOLE instead of red sauce! You will love them
