Chilaquiles, a traditional Mexican dish, has a rich history dating back to the ancient Aztecs. This flavorful dish consists of fried tortilla strips simmered in a tantalizing salsa, topped with shredded chicken, and garnished with crema, queso fresco, and onions. Renowned chefs like Diana Kennedy and Rick Bayless have popularized this dish, with variations found in regions across Mexico. The best version of this dish can be found in Mexico City, where the tortillas are fried to perfection and the salsa is made with a blend of tomatoes, chilies, and spices. The key to perfect chilaquiles lies in the quality of the salsa and the tenderness of the shredded chicken. Whether enjoyed for breakfast or dinner, chilaquiles with shredded chicken is a true delight for the senses.
