This traditional Mexican dish is as beautiful as it is tasty. Though it's tough to go wrong with such flavorful ingredients, the key to great chilaquiles is to let the chips and red chili get to know eachother for awhile in the oven. This results in both crispy and soft tortilla textures bathed in warm, slightly spicy sauce - a perfect venue for fried eggs and tangy queso fresco. The finished product? Peaks and valleys of pure Mexican comfort food.
