Chilaquiles are a traditional Mexican dish. Typically, corn tortillas cut in quarters and lightly fried are the base of the dish. Green or red salsa or mole, is poured over the crisp tortilla triangles, called totopos. The mixture is simmered until the tortilla starts softening. Eggs (scrambled or fried) and pulled chicken are sometimes added to the mix. The dish is topped with cheese (typically grilled chihuahua cheese ) and/or sour cream (crema), and it is served with refried beans. Like many dishes, regional and familiar variation are quite common.

Chef's notes

If you're making this in Europe, a mild white cheddar is a good substitute for chihuahua cheese or Monterey Jack cheese.

If you want to do this en Ecuador, use ripe mozzarella cheese and you can use paico is the same that epazote (A.V)
