Saúl knocked it outta the park with this one. As a Mexican, I approve ✅

[@ArtGuitarLTX]

Agreed! 🍻

[@Bojoschannel]

I would have added a couple more serranos, but i guess he's doing this recipe considering gringo's heat tolerance

[@carolinasv525]

First time seeing Chef Saul and I'm definitely going to watch more videos of him cooking.

This is one of the most authentic chilaquiles recipe on YT. Chef Saul is spot on!

[@RedroomStudios]

recipes? there's really nothing to it.

[@papirojo4228]

I felt that “ay guey” in my soul.

[@Gurucervecero]

As a Mexican I can say this is my very favorite breakfast. There needs to be the Perfect balance between crunchy sogee tortilla and spicy flavorful salsa the egg should be teneder enough so the yolk can mix with everything else.

[@RedroomStudios]

put some arrachera with that and then it will be a meal instead of a snack.

[@AxlMihai]

Chef Saúl is the best! He has passion, charisma, technique, knowledge, and lots of love for cooking. Gracias, Saúl!

[@nativegurl8886]

Ay, guey!! ❤ Saul! Need more of these videos learning more about the food, culture and language. 💯👏🏾

[@tcgtpl]

I’m a simple guy. I see Saul. I click.

[@ponchokvazos]

Eres una máquina Saul!!! Los chilaquiles son una de las maravillas culinarias de México

[@nptuk2163]

I could watch him for hours.. Saul - the hero of Mexican (of course not only Mexican) cuisine 😊 Entertainment on top level. Great and authentic food - always.

[@pieiem]

I love the fact that we cook a lot of things with the same ingredients but everything is called differently and tastes diferent hahaha chilaquiles, migas, sopes, tostadas, flautas, tacos dorados, enchiladas, chalupas, etc.

[@dylanwilliams8904]

As a foreigner living in Mexico this iss the bane of my life. One difference in ingredients there is a different name. The tortilla is prepared in a slightly different way, different name. Took me 5 years to try a gringa because I didn't know what it was, then found out it was essentially 2 tacos de pastor with cheese. Now it's my favourite haha

[@pieiem]

@dylanwilliams8904 size also matters hahaha gringa is bigger than the taco and has cheese! I'm glad you are chatching up and enjoying our food

[@RedroomStudios]

this is why I find Mexican food to be a fraud. everything is basically all tacos with different names. they all taste the same but are promoted as being different things.

[@lbrowning2543]

@@RedroomStudios that’s a first recipe hate speech

[@Trish-lamour]

@@RedroomStudios They don't taste the same OMG

Chilaquiles has been my #1 favorite breakfast since I had it at a little place in Cicero after a long night of partying. Perfect hangover cure for sure!

[@MikeListon-tk8ir]

Chilaquiles do not cure hangovers.

[@pablozocchi]

Siento que luego de ver los videos de Saul, puedo hablar español fluidamente!

[@dominicosalinas946]

This Chef is amazing, I've never seen any videos with him but this was great. Chilaquiles were my breakfast everyday when I lived in Mexico.

[@CalciFer]

2:26 most mexican moment ever 🤣😂

[@JohnHausser]

Saul is the most underrated cooking chef on KZbin 🌵 🔪 🧑‍🍳

[@Gabbs_0.x]

I'm gonna make these this weekend! Chilaquiles have always been intimidating to me but this looks doable!

[@Stephaniacat]

chilaquiles is like the easiest breakfast lol. well, in my house we have batches of pre-made green sauce just to pour on tortilla chips. also drink a hot cup of coffee. taste amazing with the sauce while you're eating your breakfast

[@dxcSOUL]

Hope it went well!

[@RedroomStudios]

you must be joking. this is the most basic level of cooking you could ever do. put some grilled pollo or arrachera with it and make it into a real meal!

[@davidlevine1697]

awesome delivery, great personality. informative, fun, and he keeps it simple. RESPECT! ☮❤🙏
