Shakshuka Chilaquiles

Today we’ve combined two of my favorite breakfasts, Shakshuka and Chilaquiles and smooshed them together to make our Shakshuka Chilaquiles. I’ve always been a savory and hearty breakfast kind of person and these two dishes are just that! I love the rich, tomato-y goodness of each dish and sort of melded the flavors together. There’s a bit of a smoky essence throughout the dish, from both the cumin and chipotle in adobo that I absolutely love; especially paired with creamy eggs and cheese. Also, whoever first thought of stirring tortilla chips into luscious sauce to be cooked down, but still maintain its integrity as a chip…you’re a genius! That’s all. lol. Enjoy! xx, Jenny
