The Perfect Breakfast Food (Chilaquiles 2 Ways)

[@EthanChlebowski]

Savory breakfast is the best breakfast. One of my favorite variations from Mexico City is the torta de chilaquiles. Essentially they throw the chilaquiles into a roll with chicken or cochinita pibil with cotija, crema, pickled onions for a (carb heavy) on the go snack.

[@leoglasmeyer2853]

i think your version is more optimized for the everyday cook. Joshua is premium but also much more time and money consuming.

[@alejandropimentel739]

I love the tecolotes, used to eat them almost daily in Mexico City for breakfast until I gained 10 kilos of weight. Is basically a mollete (half bolillo or telera [bread] with mashed refried beans on top and greated cheese) but with chilaquiles on top.

As a Mexican who makes this for my family every Sunday, I highly recommend sticking to the crunchier version that Josh made, whether you use the red or green sauce, the crunchiness is magnificent when you accompany it with a good runny yolk 🇲🇽 love you for trying these, Josh 🤠❤️

Protip: When making your own corn chips let them sit in a low oven until they're mostly dried out before frying. Its a very simple extra step that adds a lot of structure to the chips and lets them hold up to a longer simmer if you want. Or hold more weight if using to make nachos.

[@danerysstormborn5383]

Thank you 😊

[@priscilajaneth4695]

Also, just using stale tortillas also works. Well, it works for tortillería tortillas, I don't think I have ever bought packaged tortillas but should also work right..? (Is like using stale bread for french toast)

[@stevemanart]

​@@priscilajaneth4695 Yeah, the light low bake is just mimicking the process of going stale. It's just faster to use the oven without any appreciable difference in taste or crispiness of the final product.

You my friend, left me speechless… I’m mexican and my favorite breakfast it’s chilaquiles and you had me salivating through all the video, even my grandma approved your recipe, congrats! Greetings from Michoacan, Mexico 🇲🇽

[@Oribobu]

Love the video, as always :D Some Mexican tips: -You can blister the jalapeño with the direct flame from the stove, gently turning it around as the sides cook - The are two trends of chilaquiles: soft chilaquiles (like the rojos that you cooked) and crunchy chilaquiles (you don't cook the corn chips in the sause, instead, the salsa is poured over the totopos (corn chips). Normally, the soft chilaquiles are put inside a bread (bolillo), making a torta de chilaquiles - You can whatever meat you like, chicken, steak, shrimps (yup, that's typical from the Mexican coast). Normally, the chilaquiles are served with purple onion (diced), Mexican beans (not chili beans), sour cream and cheese (queso freso)

[@jitomatada]

Torta de chilaquiles is only traditional on the center of the country tough. I lived most of my life on the Bajio region and over there we never ever do torta de chilaquiles, we do have soft and crunchy versions (crunchy being the prefered one), but as I said, we don't do torta.

[@Oribobu]

Nice to meet you! :D I'm actually from Guanajuato, but had to move to CDMX for the college, there I learned a lot about chilaquiles, like the use of epazote and the torta de chilaquiles. At first, I was hesitant about it, but is good, at least more enjoyable than a fried tamal

[@flakyanddelicious]

Personalmente me gusta la cotija. Esta mas saladito. Pero el queso fresco también es refrescante. Buen provecho! 🤗

[@Frank1e.b0i]

[@mamamua4644]

I just made it this morning and halfed this recipe. I’m Mexican from Jalisco and my husband is from Mexico City. It was delicious. I didn’t get to do the jalapeño crema, just used sour cream. I recommend baking the tortillas before hand to make a crunchier chip. And once you’ve made your red sauce, you don’t need to cook it again with chips, just grab a bowl and mix them together and the chips will only soften without loosing crunch and you won’t get a soggy tortilla mess. At least that’s how I and my husband enjoy it. I really wish I would’ve tried the jalapeño crema with it, as I feel that would have elevated the dish. Without it, it’s just pretty good chilaquiles. Good luck!

[@joacobonabona]

I looove chilaquiles. As a Mexican I think the recipe is pretty spot on, I've never heard of a jalapeño Crema but it looks amazing. Pro tip, most people prefer to add the tortilla chips directly to the plate and add the salsa on top so you have maximum crunch. Also you can add shredded white cheddar on top and broil it (normally we use manchego cheese but the manchego cheese joshua has used previously is waaay fancier than the one we use here). Also if you want your hangover to go bye-bye add a stake on top or some chorizo.

[@marcoarroyo7712]

I am 100% mexican and this dish has always been my favorite anytime of the day meals everrr! So happy you made this dish brother. Mexicans usually eat this with cecina or chicken milanesa as choice of protein with of course the fried egg, queso fresco, sour cream, and some raw onions. In mexico city there is another popular way to eat it and its a sandwich version of it. Love ya bro!

It was fantastic. - topped chilaquiles with pickled red onion instead of jalepenos.

[@VeronicaRodriguez-qn6eb]

My sister-in-law is Mexican, and she has family in both Guadalajara and D.F. . The first time I had chilaquiles was while visiting them. In Mexico, most people eat freshly made tortillas, and chilaquiles are usually prepared with tortillas that have gone stale. Like when you repurpose stale bread to make other dishes such as bread pudding, croutons, or panzanella. I remember different family members making the crunchier version on the stove top, just like Josh did here. But I also remember a version that was baked in the oven, after adding the sauce. To me, Chilaquiles is one of the most simple and delicious dishes in existence. ¡Gracias Mexico! ¡Un saludo desde Puerto Rico!

Joshua always goes all out for his dishes, but honestly it is such an easy dish to make in the morning if you are willing to cut some corners. I usually just use packaged tortilla chips and I have a big tub of salsa that I made a couple of weeks ago and if you do that then it's really just a matter of cooking the chips into the salsa, frying eggs, then topping with cheese. Takes maybe 10 minutes if you have chips and salsa prepared already.
