Notes

  1. If you want to use an egg for this recipe, you can either top the chilaquiles with a fried egg once they're done cooking or you can crack an egg right on top before putting the pan into the oven.
  2. You can use any type of meat for this recipe.
  3. You can use queso fresco instead of feta if you prefer.
  4. You can store this in an airtight container in the fridge for up to 1 day. Unfortunately you can't store this in the freezer so be sure to eat this right away. These chilaquiles are best when fresh.
