Ingredients for this Chilaquiles Recipe

Chilaquiles Sauce:
1-2oz ANCHO PEPPERS (dried poblano)
1 med ONION
3 med TOMATOES
1-2 cloves GARLIC
1 tsp SALT

TORTILLA CHIPS
CHEESE (a crumbly white cheese)
CREMA (thickened cream)
Chopped raw ONIONS

How to Make Chilaquiles Rojos

Heat 5-6 cups of water in a heavy bottomed pot.
Remove the stems and seeds from the dried peppers.
Into the pot add the roughly chopped onion, garlic, tomato, peppers, and salt.
Bring the pot to a boil, then reduce the heat and cover. Let the pot simmer for 30 minutes.
Pour away excess water from the pot and reserve if needed.
Add the contents of the pot into a blender and mix until smooth. I like to add about a ¼ cup of half and half into the blender for extra creaminess. If the sauce is too thick, thin with the reserved water.
Heat a skillet on medium heat and cover the bottom with some of the blended sauce.
Arrange the chips evenly across the skillet, as many as desired.
Top chips with half of the crumbled cheese and chopped onion.
Pour remaining sauce or as much as desired over the skillet contents.
Sprinkle with remaining chopped onion and cheese.
Drizzle with crema and serve immediately as a breakfast side or main dish.

Chilaquiles rojos was one of my favorite dishes to eat while we were traveling in Mexico, and I was happy to find that I could make a tasty version of chilaquiles at home. Hope you like the recipe! Be cool and we'll see you in the kitchen next week...

I legit have cravings for chilaquiles everyday since quarantine

[HelloNatalieK]

I tried this, added a little more salt and it was everything!!!! Thanks so much!

[gerardacronin]

You have the best recipes! Love Mexican food! 🇲🇽

That looks so good! Never had the thought of going to a Mexican restaurant for breakfast or Sunday brunch although I have seen breakfast dishes like yours on this really good Mexican restaurant in town. Now that I know the ingredients of the peppers, garlic and other ingredients I like I will have to try it. Thank you for the really good video!

[forestmonk]

Amazing recipe, I will definitely try it out. My all-time favorite breakfast was when I was teaching at the University of New Mexico in Albuquerque. I would go into the student union, and the little Mexican abuelitas would make the most AMAZING huevos rancheros and breakfast burritos ever...

[chucktrow]

How did I miss this recipe for tortilla chips for breakfast?!!
This sounds amazing. Definitely a couple of ingredients I haven't used before so should be fun to try.
Thanks for sharing. Got this recipe from your pecan cookie travel channel episode. ❤

I wanna cool life like chef buck n camera girl!

[maynard]

Looks so good chef Buck just planted a bunch of peppers last week

[familyvargas]

Thank you Chef Buck, made me want to cook.

[LadyMaltese]

Never heard of Chilaquiles. Now I have to make this!! IMHO I think making the sauce the day before would make the morning meal prep run smoother. I'm usually too sleepy in the A.M. for that much detail. Chef Buck is fun and Camera Gurl rocks the video channel!! And the Creme Fresche... Keep up making these great YouTube video's!!

[RustyGlovebox]

That really looks tasty ! Tortilla chips is part of the major food group down south. 🤪 Keep up the great work.

[almajeanortiz]

Wow 😮!! The secret is out... a family favorite you can also make it with tomatillo green chilaquiles. Also I can’t eat the sour cream, I use Greek yogurt instead as a substitute for sour cream. I like them also without the eggs. It’s really good any time not just for breakfast!!!😋

[stevet]

BOOM! My very favorite chef. Always good food and so well prepared and presented and the links you provide bring it all together. Shout out to camera girl. You make a great team. Thank you!

[mrsbraye]

This looks yummy I truly enjoy you and camera girl recipe videos. I always learn something new along always smiling. Thank you.

[mistihansen]

I just started watching his channel, and I’d love to try some his dishes, like this one. My only problem is I have to cook enough for 6 adults, and a single skillet won’t work, but I don’t want to have to use multiple skillets. I guess I could try it in a casserole dish in the oven?

[lamontdavis]

Thank you for sharing. This is hands down my favorite hearty breakfast when in Mexico. It's made a little different from house to house but this is definitely the base recipe!  I would never have used packaged chips but these are different times - LOL! For me queso is a must. Fresh cream in the sauce seems a little bourgeois but surely tasty. That will be our quarantine breakfast tomorrow.

[joefairhurst]

Thanks! Nice recipe: this made for an excellent Sunday brunch. I think the only thing I'd do different next time is toast the ancho peppers beforehand as mine had been in the pantry for a while and needed a little pop. I started off your recipe with 5 cups of water, and I poured off three cups before blending. Do you do anything with the reserved water/stock from the salsa? I'm thinking of using it for a chicken or beef stock but wanted to know your thoughts. Again, thanks for the recipe and your time. Joe

[MrDarshD]

Looks like a super tasty and awesome recipe, Chef!! Making stuff at home is very important since the outbreak. Now we gotta make restaurant and street style food at home too. Your channel will help a lot of people to make some great food with moderate supplies... Love the positive vibes and energy as always! Take care and stay safe, Chef Buck and Camera Girl 😊👍

[martyrose]

I guess you just took away my last excuse. Have all the ingredients but haven't ever made these. Don't know why. I was wondering what I was going to eat later. Thanks guys!👍😀
