I love chilaquiles. It’s such a great, low maintenance, comfort food dish that’s great anytime of the day. It’s such a hardy dish, especially when shredded chicken or eggs (cooked how you like them) are added to them. I also really love that as long as you have tortilla chips and salsa, you can make chilaquiles; although I prefer to eat my chilaquiles the same way as my nachos, loaded.
For the longest time I was partial to chilaquiles in red sauce, but I recently had a chilaquiles dish that was drenched in the most glorious salsa verde and topped with spicy radishes and sharp cotija cheese…it was amazing. So today we have our own version of green chilaquiles, made with a simple roasted tomatillo salsa, and topped with a handful of fixings. Chilaquiles is such an inexpensive crowd pleaser, perfect for your next brunch or low key dinner party. Enjoy! xx, Jenny

What is the volume of tomatillo sauce that is made for the recipe? Prior to adding the chicken stock. Thank you!
These were fabulous! The green sauce was so flavorful. I added shredded chicken, sweet roasted corn off cob for a little sweetness, and some Colby jack cheese to finish in the pan. After serving to a plate, I added sliced heirloom tomato, sliced avocados and sour cream to finish it off Amazing. A keeper for sure. Ya’ll did it again!!
I gotta say I am partial to the salsa verde option myself and I will probably make this with chicken. Looks lovely and delish!
Made this morning. Since we’re not big fried/poached eggs fans here, I just half-scrambled the eggs in the pan before adding the chicken stock and salsa, and other toppings.
Really, really delicious!
Hi ! This looks delicious ! Such a summery dish, i’m going to try it, thank you so much for the recipe
Look at those eggs nestled in there! I’m just picturing the yolk as I stuff my face in this. It’s not pretty but so right!
Ooh, yes! These chilaquiles are amazing. I had no problem polishing off most of a batch myself. :)
I’m going to be this person…where did you find that beautiful pan? Also this recipe is right up my alley, thanks for posting it.
Anthropologie! They are a little $$$$, doesn’t seem like they have them anymore but I believe the brand is Liquida. :)
In the salsa verde, I used, to literally, burn a poblano pepper, direct in the stove… once is all burned, I took out the seeds inside and when you make the blending with your tomatillos, garlics, and all that you did, just put it there (dont wash it, put it all just without the seeds). Your salsa will go to the next level!!!
Thanks for the tip!
This sounds & looks delicious. I absolutely adore eggs but have never seen a dish like this before. Yummy. Sammie http://www.feastingisfun.com
