I don’t get why people like chilaquiles. They were kind of soggy and just not my thing. 2 stars.
OMG this is the best chilaquiles recipe ever! I added some fried eggs on top, so good!
I totally agree! Adding fried eggs is a game changer! Thanks for sharing this awesome tip!
Super easy and fast! I used leftover salsa and it worked out great! Will make again for sure.
Yum! But why do they call it chilaquiles? Sounds kinda funny lol.
