CHILAQUILES ROJOS (TRADITIONAL MEXICAN BREAKFAST DISH)
Steps:
- Grill the tomatoes, chiles, garlic and onions until they have a slightly blackened skin. Do not burn!
- Bring 6 cups water to a boil with the blackened veggies until they are cooked through and soft inside.
- Pour the veggies with the hot water and a little added cold water into a food processor and process. Don't blend too much, you want the mixture to be chunky.
- In a large pot, heat up the oil until smoking. Then (carefully!) add a small amount of the sauce mixture and let it burn away for 1 minute (this is for a nice smoky flavor). Then slowly add the rest of the mixture and season with salt and some chicken base.
- Add the tomato puree for color, and mix well. Add the shredded chicken and cook until it is heated through. Add the cilantro. Add the chips and serve immediately on 4 plates. Top each plate with some sour cream, sliced onions, queso fresco and a sprig of cilantro.
- Serve with guacamole, refried black beans and pico de gallo on the side.

Steps:
- Preheat oven to 425°F. Cook bacon in a large (12") cast-iron or other ovenproof skillet over medium heat, stirring occasionally, until fat is rendered and bacon is beginning to crisp, 5-7 minutes. Add garlic and chile and continue to cook, stirring, until bacon is crisp and garlic is golden brown, 2-3 minutes more. Add beans, stir to combine, then stir in 2 cups salsa verde. Taste by dipping a tortilla chip into mixture; season with salt if needed.
- Transfer bean mixture to a large bowl (trying to add the chips to the skillet will make a mess, trust us). Gently stir in 8 cups chips with a rubber spatula until thoroughly coated without breaking chips. Return to hot skillet. Stick a handful of fresh chips vertically into mixture here and there-they will get extra crunchy as the chilaquiles bake. Sprinkle Monterey Jack and Cotija over. Make 8 evenly spaced indentations in filling and carefully crack an egg into each. Bake until egg whites are opaque and cheese is bubbly, 10-15 minutes.
- Top chilaquiles with cilantro. Serve with hot sauce, lime wedges, and more salsa verde alongside.

BACON CHILAQUILES WITH EGGS
In Mexico and throughout the Southwest, chilaquiles with eggs are typically made for brunch using tortillas and any leftovers from the previous day's dinner. I love to bring this to family brunches as it gives the traditional eggs-and-bacon dish a unique twist. The empty pan proves that it's a family brunch favorite! —Naylet LaRochelle, Miami, Florida

Tips:
- Use stale corn tortillas for the best texture. Fresh tortillas will be too soft and will break down in the casserole.
- Cut the tortillas into uniform pieces so that they cook evenly.
- Don't overcrowd the pan when frying the tortillas. This will prevent them from cooking evenly.
- Use a large skillet or griddle to cook the tortillas so that they have plenty of room to spread out.
- Cook the tortillas over medium heat so that they have time to cook through without burning.
- Don't stir the tortillas too often while they are cooking. This will prevent them from becoming crispy.
- Once the tortillas are crispy, remove them from the pan and drain them on paper towels.
- Layer the tortillas, sauce, cheese, and other ingredients in a casserole dish. Be sure to evenly distribute the ingredients so that each bite is flavorful.
- Bake the casserole until the cheese is melted and bubbly. This usually takes about 20 minutes.
- Serve the casserole immediately with your favorite toppings, such as sour cream, salsa, and guacamole.
Conclusion:
Chilaquiles breakfast casserole is a delicious and easy-to-make dish that is perfect for a weekend brunch or a weekday breakfast.
