Welcome to the first real edition of Make it Monday! I went to Mexico almost ten years ago. While I was there, I tried a breakfast dish--chilaquiles. Ever since I've craved it, but never thought to look for the recipe on Pinterest. But I stumbled upon one here and tried it out. This is what happened:
Edits
Instead of using store bought tortilla chips, I opted to make my own using my favorite corn tortillas via La Tortilla Factory, slicing them into fourths, frying them in oil and, of course, sprinkling a bit of salt on them. Also, I used an organic enchilada sauce instead of salsa.
Difficulty and Timing
This dish was surprisingly easy to make and, other than the time I took to make chips, didn't take much time to make. It was one I could easily incorporate into weekday dinners with ease.
The Verdict
The dish was phenomenal. I thoroughly enjoyed it. It was, however, a bit spicy. And if you're not into spicy things or if you are feeding kids, I would suggest either substituting the green chilis with a milder version, using less of them or cutting them out all together. I personally think that making my own chips made a world of difference. I would suggest it.
I made other recipes from Pinterest that I am anxious to share, but I'm going to hold off at this time and do one recipe per post. That way I have a backlog for when I inevitably forget to take photos of the outcome or process.
If you've been to Mexico and had the real deal, you know it's hard to make a comparable version. But this one was pretty close. And if you're a fan, I would recommend it for sure.
