CHILAQUILES VERDES is a delicious meal whether enjoyed for breakfast, lunch or supper.  CHILAQUILES VERDES are made with crispy fried corn tortilla chips then smothered in a delicious tomatillo sauce and topped with queso fresco or cheese of your choice, then topped with Crema for an added plus, whether your tortillas are homeade or store bought you can create this amazing easy dish. CHILAQUILES can be made in a green sauce or red sauce, and are a unique way of using yesterday's tortillas and leftover salsa. In my house, we love our chilaquiles for breakfast with our favorite side of refried beans and fried eggs, I think it's a super easy dish that can also be enjoyed with shredded chicken, beef or chorizo. CHILAQUILES VERDES can be prepared ahead, by frying your tortilla chips then lightly salting them and storing them till needed and doing the same by preparing your salsa and keeping in the fridge till your ready to pile the chips high with your salsa verde and topping it with your queso FRESCO and crema.
