Chilaquiles Ingredients

Method

Cooking Instructions

  1. 1

    Prepare the Salsa Verde

    If using homemade salsa verde, make it by blending tomatillos, jalapeños, onion, garlic, cilantro, and lime juice until smooth. If using store-bought, skip this step.

  2. 2

    Heat the Salsa

    In a large pan over medium heat, warm the green salsa until it starts to simmer.

  3. 3

    Add Chicken

    Stir in the cooked shredded chicken and cook for an additional 2-3 minutes until heated through.

  4. 4

    Add Tortilla Chips

    Gently fold in the tortilla chips until they are evenly coated with the salsa and chicken mixture. Cook for another 2-3 minutes until the chips are slightly softened but still retain some crunch.

  5. 5

    Serve

    Spoon the chilaquiles onto plates, sprinkle with shredded cheese, and top with dollops of sour cream. Serve alongside rice, refried beans, sliced avocado, and garnish with fresh cilantro and lime wedges.
