Chilaquiles usually eaten for breakfast or brunch. They are made from corn tortillas cut into triangles, which are then lightly fried or grilled, then simmered in a sauce. The sauce can be red (made from tomatoes and peppers) or green (made from tomatillos).
Chilaquiles are often topped with grated cheese, cream, onions, avocado, cilantro, and sometimes chicken, eggs, or beans . They are served with beans or rice. This dish is naturally gluten-free when made with pure corn tortillas, without gluten-containing additives, making it a popular option for gluten-free diets in Mexico.
