A plate of chilaquiles topped with a fried egg, jalapeño slices, crumbled cheese, diced red onion, cilantro, and a drizzle of crema, served on a white plate.

Chilaquiles Verdes

These chilaquiles verdes are light, crisp, and full of flavor without the extra oil. Tortilla triangles soak up just enough tangy salsa verde to stay satisfying while keeping their crunch.
