Chilaquiles is a traditional Mexican dish that simmers (often leftover) fried corn tortillas in a salsa or mole sauce. We took the dinnertime favorite and gave it a brunch-ready twist in this casserole recipe. Eggs are layered on top of the tortilla chips, cheese and sauce for a hearty breakfast bake that’s sure to be a hit! Top with fresh ingredients (hello, avocado, queso fresco and cilantro!) and be ready for everyone at the table to be grabbing seconds.
