The Best Chilaquiles Recipe

[@pepperthemini7868]

As a Mexican I'm so proud to see a good recipe of our cuisine. Chilaquiles is a humble but delicious dish. Thank you for sharing

[@homeslice6064]

It’s a classic comfort food!

[@marieline23]

This recipe is it the same than yours in your country ?

[@abesalamanca]

​@@marieline23 like John said chilaquiles vary greatly mainly because of the sauce. Red, green, black, etc etc etc but I can assure you this recipe is right on point. Looks really good! (Im mexican btw)

[@rebetouille]

​@@marieline23 is not But here in mexico chilaquiles most all the time are green(green tomate whit serrano chilli or red tomate whit serrano) know we have a lot of variety of sauces with different chili peppers and this recipe could be an option for a sauce here know they sell tortilla chips for chilaquiles here in mexico chips for chilaquiles are important too like him we eat whit egg o meat or cesina to bee honest it is not usual to put avocado a lot of fresh cream,chease (queso fresco) and onion

[@valeriec3223]

Thissss💗

[@marcegarcia3526]

Hii, I’m mexican and if you want to give it a twist to the salsa you can add some peanuts and it gives a really creamy and tasty flavor. It’s a classic the chile de árbol y cacahuate (peanut) salsa

[@osmaragarcia9415]

1:19 Ancho Chiles are spicy . Guajillos are best. You don’t have to chop the onion it will be blended you can cut it into quarter size pieces. 3:49 don’t add salt instead add chicken bouillon for more flavor 8:44 Crema oaxaqueña is THE best with chilaquiles but if you can’t find it just use daisy but whip it with some salt to thin it out John did an amazing job I just thought I would share some of the tips that I tell all my non Hispanic friends when they ask me how to make them.

[@welza001]

I think the chiles are based on region because my friends from Central Mexico always use ancho chiles. They also never add chicken bouillon but that might just be because we don’t eat meat

[@dulcebautista1437]

My family mixes both guajillo and ancho. They each have a different flavor so the mix tastes amazeballs.

[@MrLadyMaroles]

I’d say ancho is more smoky than it is spicy 🤔🤔🤔 but also I’m crazy and it takes a lot of heat to make me think something is actually spicy 🤭

[@dcordero1984]

I use a mix of new Mexico, japones, arbol, and piquin...... also never used chicken bullion in the sauce either. Make extra to later use in a guisado or salsa for tacos. Yumm

[@MariaGuzman-cb2yf]

Agree. Also don't have to boil them just fry them for a couple of seconds and then soak them in hot water to hydrate after blending everything you can fry the sauce again.

[@CapyBarbra]

I know how to make chilaquiles, but I watch it anyway because it’s Preppy Kitchen ◡̈

[@yellow_sedai]

Chilaquiles is one of a few dishes I could eat every day and not get tired of it. Thanks for the recipe. Would love to see the green ones also.

[@ixchelssong]

It's not one of John's recipes of course, but one of The Moosewood cookbooks has a delicious green chilaquiles recipe in it. You might be able to find it online. (I lost most of my cookbooks in one of my many moves, or I would give you the recipe myself.) It's very good with your favorite salsa! P.s. it's a casserole, unlike the one John made.

[@marcyscoronado3029]

Hello 👋🏼 funny fact! When I was pregnant 🤰🏼 of my 2nd child. I could NOT eat enough Chilaquiles 🤭 My husband and my daughter would say… “Chilaquiles again for dinner?” 😂

[@mysticrosa6206]

Love seeing this on your channel. This is a fave brunch dish in my house. ❤

[@zekelucente9702]

That’s a sunny side up egg over easy means it’s been flipped. I prefer sunny side up or poached lots of runny yolk is a must. I enjoy Preppy’s videos they’re authentic and accessible.

[@seanlevy6027]

My half sister just immigrated from mexico and I was able to make this recipe for our first ever meeting in person thank you for helping me connect with my family your amazing

[@rigelmoon5230]

Chilaquiles are the best thing to eat on a Saturday morning with some coffee and beans ❤❤ I love seeing such a special dish on your channel!

[@homeslice6064]

Heck yeah😎

[@SekhmetHathorSage]

I had never heard of this dish before. Since we love Mexican food I gave it a try. OMG so simple but so different and tasty! I topped ours with black beans cooked in cumin and smoked paprika, queso fresco, super thin red onion slices, and crema (sour cream with zest and juice of one lime and one garlic clove.) Definitely adding this in as a regular meal!! Thank you for sharing your childhood memories and your mom's method.

[@ClaudiaGarcia-vl2ii]

I loved that authentic ingredients were used !!! And the fact that tortilla chips were made fresh This awesome! Thank you for this!!

[@karlagutierrez5141]

I have to say thank you for not messing up one of the top Mexican recipes. That was authentic and right on point. I won’t mention any names but someone that’s famous and has talk show and cooks in her show and also makes dog food (Rachel Ray) claim to do the best “pozole” recipe. Yeaaah… noooo that look like chili or some nacho topping with Fritos on top. Lord have mercy on her for ruining and making people believe that was real Pozole. Anyways, thank you for keeping it real. 😂❤

[@catherinelw9365]

She also destroys Asian food. 🤦‍♀

[@51K251]

This is by far the most beautiful and festive way to prepare and present chilaquiles, a dish that brings back fond memories of my parents’ kid version: 1/2-inch cut squares, cut from strips of corn tortillas, tossed in a scrambled egg, chihuahua cheese and tomatillo-chile verde sauce. Needless to say, I very much look forward to your next inspiration with organic touches from your garden. Happy Easter!

[@sd.2528]

Two of my favorites, Brian Lagerstrom and John Kanell, release their Chilaquiles recipies on the same day! Both look similar and delicious. Not uber traditional, but I love a good carne asada on top of Chilaquiles.

[@MichaelAlthauser]

Seems more than a bit suspicious that they both got published on the same day.

[@homerfan2323]

I was thinking the same thing, weird that they both released on the same day

[@welza001]

@@homerfan2323 Chilaquiles are popular enough that this might be a coincidence (it more than likely is).

Im from asia and I'd love me some great Mexican food but there aren't many Mexican restaurants where I live so thanks for these simple yet delicious recipes i can try making at home! Also ur very lovely and fun to watch ❤️

[@celinawilson9440]

Love the Mexican recipes,It’s so special to me to learn them from my favorite chef! I’m also mixed with Mexican and I love the food and culture :)

[@BeckyA59]

Oh boy I love chilaquiles! When the kids were young, pre-divorce, we often went on vacation in Mexico and my favorite was always chilaquiles for breakfast❤

[@marianamolina7565]

I am Mexican i love Chilaquiles its just the best breakfast ! Super cool that you made it. With guajillo !!!!

I wish there was a "I love it" button because John you make my meals. ❤

Thnk you!!!! 🇲🇽❤️

[@LauraC369]

Thank you for your lovely recipe... delicious, simple and actually Mexican.

[@FineAndAndy]

The extra guajillo cooking liquid that didn't make it into the sauce is still probably really flavorful. I bet if you tossed it into the next pot of rice you made it would add a nice background smoky, spicy flavor.

[@PreppyKitchen]

100 percent!!!

[@packertai1]

Yum! 😋

[@rabbit_scribe]

I love that idea!

[@davidjacobrodriguez140]

Love your content! Making some chilaquiles this weekend!!

[@vanessaotero3622]

I love this recipe! I normally make a hack version of this dish that may not be authentic, but I find to be really tasty. I buy Mexican corn tortillas from Food 4 Less that have a similar texture to home fried ones and I buy some Mexican chorizo that I cook down with scrambled eggs, shredded Mexican cheese and tossed together with the tortilla chips.

[@ejohnson3131]

I’m not saying your recipe is not authentic but maybe it’s called something else? Adding scrambled eggs and chorizo would make it a very hearty breakfast. I’ve had burritos with scrambled eggs, chorizo, potatoes, refried beans… add some sliced avocado and some fresh salsa…. Delicious!

[@angiebl6822]

I love chilaquiles! Every region has their own version. John, this is how chilaquiles are made in Guanajuato y Michoacán! All versions are delicious! Im from Mexico City and you can find green chilaquiles in every restaurant or “fondita” Thank you so much for sharing this recipe. ❤ saludos from Raleigh, NC.

[@tossingturnips]

I love chilaquiles as well! I always do them the lazy way with pre-made tortilla chips and either Pato sauce or leftover little cups of salsa from getting Mexican takeout. However, this looks so danged delicious, I may need to go out and get some guajillos and do it from scratch.

[@PreppyKitchen]

THat's so funny because I LOVE Pato sauce! It's really a great hack.

[@marthahowe2131]

I used el Pato sauce for chilaquiles too, is good but homemade sauce is always better 😊

I like to heat off the salsa in a separate saucepan to pour it over the chips although I like how he mixed it off the heat as some people thick you need to simmer the chips in the salsa which just makes a soggy mess.
