Oh my word my favorite… I know I know I say that a lot but honestly chiliquiles are my favorite and not all Mexican Restaraunts serve it, makes me sad… insert sad emoji.
Did you know that traditional chiliquiles actually have eggs in the dish most often it is made using fried eggs but sometimes scrambled eggs are used. This would be perfect for brunch
I have had it prepared this way only one time and it was really good bit normally I eat it for lunch or dinner and so no eggs.
I have been wanting to try to fix chiliquiles like my favorite Mexican restaraunt does. I have attempted this recipe 3 times. I guess it is true what they say 3rd times a charm and if at first you don’t succeed try try again.
Never give up on what you want to achieve… keep trying!!!
So here is my recipe it was so yummy
