Easy Chilaquiles

Sharing is caring!

This super easy chilaquiles recipe is a family favorite! It uses our Chipotle salsa recipe and is pretty versatile depending on the toppings you like.

These chilaquiles are good for breakfast, lunch, or dinner. It just depends on your toppings. If you want it for breakfast, add a fried egg. If you want it for lunch or dinner, add some shredded rotisserie chicken. Then garnish as desired!

Honestly, the first time I made this I had no clue it’d be such a hit. I was pregnant and was craving spicy so, I made a plate for myself and that was it. My son who was 1 1/2 at the time came over and so did Scott. They literally just devoured it. I was trying my hardest to stuff my face quickly so that I could get a couple of bites in too! Oh man, I never made that mistake again. I always make a huge portion of these easy chilaquiles now.

Currently we are following IIFYM and so we are counting our macros. This recipe isn’t super hard to modify for tracking macros. The only difference is instead of mixing the entire meal together on the stove like it says in the instructions, I just do each portion separately on its own plate. I actually prefer it this way because my tortilla chips are still a little crispy. I think when you mix the chips in with the salsa in the saucepan, they soften more quickly.
