Delicious Tex-Mex Chilaquiles – A Flavorful Twist on a Traditional Dish

These Tex Mex Chilaquiles can be on your table in just 20 minutes and are perfect for breakfast or brunch! These chilaquiles are loaded with turkey and topped with cheese and green enchilada sauce.

Now when I first heard about chilaquiles I thought ‘aren’t they just nachos?’ but in this case I was glad I was wrong. Nachos are snacks meant to be shared with a crowd. Chilaquiles are a heavier dish that are bound to get a bit messier, so devour them with a fork ideally.

Have you ever tried them before? Chilaquiles are usually corn tortillas cut into quarters and fried, then poured with green or red sauce and cooked until softened. Shredded chicken is sometimes added and is usually garnished with cream, shredded queso fresco, and avocado slices. They are also usually served with refried beans or eggs, which is why they are usually eaten for breakfast or brunch.
