Ingredients & Equipment You’ll Need

• 12 corn tortillas
• 2 cups of green salsa
• 1 cup of shredded chicken
• 1/2 cup of crumbled queso fresco
• 1/4 cup chopped fresh cilantro
• 1/4 cup finely chopped onion
• 1 avocado, sliced
• 1/2 cup of cream

You’ll also need a pan to fry your tortillas and a large pan to simmer the sauce.

The choice of salsa significantly affects your chilaquiles. Green salsa brings a tangy and slightly spicy flavor. The queso fresco adds a creamy, salty taste. Just remember, quality ingredients result in a quality dish. If you can’t find queso fresco, try substituting it with feta or monterey jack.

How To Make Homemade Chilaquiles Recipe

1. Start by frying tortillas until they are crispy, heat green salsa in a large saucepan.
2. Add the crispy tortillas to the salsa pan, turning until they’re coated with the salsa and beginning to soften.
3. Add your shredded chicken, and let everything cook together for another few minutes.
4. Garnish it with the crumbled queso fresco, chopped onions, fresh cilantro, avocado slices, and a drizzle of cream.

Tips For The Best Results

• Use stale tortillas, as they fry up better than fresh ones.
• Add more salsa if you want your chilaquiles softer, less for a crunchier dish.

Storage Tips

• Store any leftovers in the fridge and they can be reheated in a pan or microwave.
