Chilaquiles Ingredients
Method
Preparation Directions
- 1
Prepare the Fries
Peel and cut the potatoes into fry shapes. Rinse them in cold water to remove excess starch, then dry thoroughly.
- 2
Fry the Potatoes
Heat oil in a deep fryer or a large pot to 350°F (175°C). Fry the potato strips in batches until golden brown and crispy, about 5-7 minutes. Remove and drain on paper towels, then season with salt.

Prepare the Pulled Pork
If using pre-cooked pulled pork, heat it in a skillet with guajillo chili powder until warmed through. If you need to cook the pork, season and slow-cook it first until tender, then shred.
