So Chilaquiles?
Can someone please tell me how the heck to pronounce that.
Because honestly, I can’t even read Chilaquiles. I try to sound it out and man, it just does not work. Like at all. I sound like a total idiot and or someone who just got out of surgery and is all jacked up on pain meds.
And trust me, I know what someone on a whole lot of pain meds sounds like.
I think we are the family of broken bones and surgery. My younger brother Kai takes the crown for the most painful surgeries. Hip replacement at thirteen anyone? Broken femur at seven? Collar bone…..twice.
Yeah, he’s had a rough number of years.
Oh then there is Brendan.
Brendan was playing on the railing of our stairwell with my two oldest brothers when he was, well actually I wrote nine or ten here at first, but then my mom said he was three (well almost four)! Then she thought about it and said, “maybe you better leave it as nine or ten”. The kid is a monkey and my parents did everything they could to keep the kid from constantly climbing, jumping, swinging and exploring. They put him in gymnastics, gave him a trampoline, a bike, ice skates, even a jungle gym and the kid still wanted to climb unsafe things. Things like trees, and houses (now he flies over jumps made of snow) and um, the stairwell.
Well one time, the stairwell did him in. He slipped and fell fifteen feet on his face and basically shattered his whole face.
I know! It is crazy, but it was pretty bad.
Not sure what else he broke, but he was one lucky kid and all good in a couple of months, but his nose will never be completely straight again.
Oh and I feel I should tell you that I have not once broken a single bone.
Not once.
I am such an outsider in my family. Seriously, if I did not have my dad’s nose (trust me, it is his) I would have a blood test taken.
Oh and I also feel I should tell you that I am in a huge food rut. All I want to make is fruit salsa, eggs and basically nothing else. My brain is fried. Fried.
Ugh.
Oh and yeah, I should probably tell you a little about these Chilaquiles. Basically they’re best breakfast, lunch or dinner. They are so quick, so easy and so good. I mean tortilla chips are involved. That is just always awesome, but then there are mangos and black beans and corn.
Oh yeah and the fried egg and the Queso fresco (obsessed!). Plus, I love the soggy baked chips on the bottom and then the crunchy baked chips on top with with the warm cheese?
Amazing.
It’s a flavor AND texture winner for sure.

Ah.. I love these!
Anything that combines avocado and dippy eggs is totally right up my alley!
I know, me too! Thanks Hannah!
My brother is known for breaking bones but I haven’t gotten a single injury yet! This dish sounds fabulous!
Thank you so much, Nicole!! Sounds like our brothers need to take it easy!
Chilaquiles are favorite, these pictures have me craving some!
Thanks Jaclyn!
I used to waitress at a place that served these (Chee luh Key luhs is how I say it) and I would always describe them to people as “breakfast nachos” so good.
Yes, breakfast nachos are what these are!! Except I totally ate them for dinner! Ha!
Thanks so much, Jackie!
This has my name written all over it. I adore anything with Mexican flavors!
Thank so much, Lauren! I love mexican flavors too!
They may be simple to assemble, but girly, there’s a whoooole lot going on with these delicious bad boys! Mouth’s a-waterin’!
Thanks Julia!
Umm, I don’t call this a food rut – I call it summer! My diet has been mostly made up of peaches and tomatoes in some kind of salad form, not together, altho I might try that now. 😉
This looks like the perfect summer dish, fresh flavors with minimal cook time – yumm! Beautiful photos too!
Thank you so much, Grace!
INCREDIBLE!!! They almost look like individual nacho servings!
Thank you so much, Steph!! Breakfast nachos is what I am calling them!
Yum!! I’m loving this!
Thank you so much, Brenda!
I’ve never broken a bone either 🙂 And, however you pronounce it, these chilaquiles look AMAZING!
Thank you!
These Chilaquiles look so appealing specially topped with the egg!
Whats not to like about egg, avocado, black beans and adobo sauce! Yum!
Heres hoping there are no more broken bones in your family!
Thank you so much, Shashi!
Loving the colours in the post. So beautiful!
Thank you so much, Christina!
Oohhh how delicious!! This looks amazing!
Thank you, Jamie!
I say being the outsider when it comes to broken bones is a good thing! Love anything with a fried egg on top!
I agree! Thanks Pam!
