Healthy Lunch Recipes

Chilaquiles are a true Mexican comfort food. This is where the stale tortillas come in hand so they don’t go to waste. Chilaquiles are basically corn tortilla pieces that are fried, cooked in salsa, and sprinkled  with cheese and some sour cream.

The name Lazy Chilaquiles came to me when I decided to cut the whole preparing and cooking time in half. What used to take me more then a hour to make took me just 30 mins to cook and serve.

I like eating mine with a  sunny side up egg on top to give it that Breakfast feeling. The good thing about Chilaquiles is that you can make it with either red or green salsa. I usually make mine with the red sauce because it is easier to make.

If you like Enchiladas, Chilaquiles are basically the same but with a lot less work.

Enjoy the recipe for the Lazy Chilaquiles I made this morning :)
